In the Shadow of Alabama

Judy Reene Singerâ€™s newest novel is a masterful story of the American experience. Between the past and present, between love and war, between the burdens of race and hope, a woman returns home to discover her father and a history she had never known...

Rachel Fleischer has good reasons not to be at her fatherâ€™s deathbed. Foaling season is at hand and her horses are becoming restless and difficult. Her critical mother and grasping sister could certainly handle Marty Fleisherâ€™s resistance better without her. But Malachi, her eighty-something horse managerâ€”more father to her than Marty has ever beenâ€”convinces Rachel she will regret it if she doesnâ€™t go.

When a stranger at her fatherâ€™s funeral delivers an odd gift and an apology, Rachel finds herself drawn into the epic story of her fatherâ€™s World War II experience, and the friendships, trauma, scandal, and betrayals that would scar the rest of his lifeâ€”and cast a shadow across the entire family. As she struggles to make sense of his time as a Jewish sergeant in charge of a platoon of black soldiers in 1940s Alabama, she learns more than just his history. She begins to see how his hopes and disappointments mirror her ownâ€”and might finally give her the means to free herself of the past and choose a life waiting in the wings.

â€œPrepare for Singer to keep you up all night ricocheting between a present day horse farm, family traumas, and the unthinkable racism in the military during WWII. The long arm of war travels through generations in this emotional drama.â€ â€”New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Sheehan
