Produktbeschreibung
Descended from the ancient Babylonians, the Christian Chaldeans are an endangered people on the brink of extinction, a community that, throughout their history, has been forced to choose between conversion, death, or to leave behind the soil of their ancestors, carrying nothing but memory, sorrow, and the echo of forgotten prayers. In their most recent flight to preserve their people, they came to America to face a different kind of demise-social suicide. Dee didn't care about preserving anyone other than his family and two American women, whom he worshiped with his heart and soul. Haunted by shadows of curses, betrayal, and whispered warnings, Dee navigates through risk and temptation as his choices pull him deeper into Detroit's underworld. Love, loyalty, and vengeance collide in a battle for survival at the cost of the American dream. Set against the backdrop of twentieth-century Detroit, In the D explores the hidden world of an immigrant community fighting to keep its faith and identity alive in a city defined by corruption and opportunity. The novel moves between generations and cultures, revealing the universal struggle to belong and the personal cost of chasing the American dream. A story of faith under fire, of family bonds tested by desire and loss, In the D marks the first book in James J. Yasso's sweeping literary series At the Edge of Extinction-a haunting saga about the vanishing of a people and the endurance of the human spirit.
