Cole Riley Livres

Melvin's bright future ended the night he joined his brother's thug friends at a party. Drugged for most of the night, Melvin misses a brutal assault on two rich white girls, but he is charged with masterminding the gang rape. Confused and drained, Melvin confesses and goes to jail. But a reporter interviews him and finds overlooked flaws in the case. After a determined effort, one of the girls cracks and reveals the series of lies. Melvin is released, but things don't end there. His family turns on him, focussing on the settlement from the state instead of rejoicing at his freedom.

A stunning, all-new collection of prayers, poetry, and spiritual practices centring the Black interior world, from the New York Times bestselling author of This Here Flesh and creator of the hugely popular Black Liturgies Instagram account.
