Fiction
On his 59th birthday, Jacob Stevens, a transplanted southerner who grew up in the Jim Crow South now living in the Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands, is invited to attend his 40th high school reunion. Jacob, who married a northerner and adopted three African-American children, realizes that the reunion committee, however, neglected to invite the African-American half of his class. This sparks an avalanche of painful nostalgia as he attempts to cope with his own desire to return to the South and attend this racist reunion. Suddenly Jacob feels homesick and homeless, and guilty for feeling this way--all at the same time.
