Fiction
Lemaster Carlyle, the president of the country's most
prestigious university, and his wife, Julie, the divinity
school's deputy dean, are America's most prominent and
powerful African American couple. Driving home through a
swirling blizzard late one night, the couple skids off the
road. Near the sight of their accident they discover a dead
body. To her horror, Julia recognizes the body as a
prominent academic and one of her former lovers. In the
wake of the death, the icy veneer of their town Elm Harbor,
a place Julie calls "the heart of whiteness," begins to
crack, having devastating consequences for a prominent
local family and sending shock waves all the way to the
White House.
