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.
