Lost Seeds

Summary

ONLINE book description
Shaped by the ghost of their parents’ former enslavement, two brothers, Dub and Tim, must decide—confront the past or suffer the consequences forever?
In this riveting continuation of the Brisco family saga, brothers Dub and Tim strive to persevere against their early 1900s post-slavery beginnings—clashing with their history of family trauma and their different coping mechanisms for living in a world that doesn’t accept them. While Dub becomes a respected coal miner and finds prosperity for his family, Tim continues a slow descent into a fog of psychosis, alcoholism, and perpetual joblessness—forced to live an isolated existence on Dub’s property despite his desire for deeper connection.
When the ultimate tragedy strikes and the family is forced to confront the deep-seated racism of their small town and the resentments they hold toward one another, the brothers are forced to confront the wounds of their past, leaving them wondering if their actions are the toll exacted for the next generation's progress. Will they overcome their disparate lives and animosity toward one another and come together to protect the next generation, or is it too late?
Set against the backdrop of 1960s America, Lost Seeds: The Legacy is a suspenseful tale of love, heartbreak, and the enduring bonds of brothers. As the echoes of personal and collective history reverberate through the lives of Dub, Tim, and their descendants, their story serves as a powerful reminder that sowing the seeds of progress is often paid in blood, sweat, and fractured pieces of the heart.
