I Never Knew Home Wellsley Fitzroy Shelton

Can Old Scars Be Forgotten?

"From the moment I began I Never Knew Home by Wellsley Fitzroy Shelton, I was captured by the story of Willie Bo Abraham, part-time attorney, part-time fix-it man, who's defending a drifter on a murder charge for killing a "good Christian man." Willie Bo believes his client is innocent. But it's 1929, and Willie Bo, a "colored" man, is up against more than a winning white prosecutor. He may not have the East Coast law degree and impeccable reputation, but he's got something more important- self-worth. And he's here to patch things up. I loved every page of this compelling debut novel by a wonderful new writer."

After his first murder case, Willie Bo Abraham, should've begun repairs on Mrs. Morgan's house. Instead, it's postponed again. He accepts a case that may cost him his life-defending a former slave-owner who's accused of murder in Logan Creek, South Carolina. His only ally is a one-armed sheriff.
