 A
Life for a Life: A Novel by
Ernest Hill (Hardcover - Aug 18, 1998)
Other Editions:
Paperback ~ In
A Life for a Life,
Ernest Hill explores the volatile emotional
terrain of a black youth's coming of age in rural Louisiana. When a local
drug dealer threatens to kill D'Ray Reid's kid brother unless he comes up
with $100 within an hour, D'Ray decides to hold up a convenience store in
a nearby town. The young clerk at the cash register attempts to foil the
robbery and in the scuffle D'Ray shoots and kills him. What follows is an
absorbing drama in which D'Ray becomes a fugitive with a lengthening resume
of violent crime. Yet it is ultimately in the person of Henry Earl, the
slain boy's father, that D'Ray sees his future. When he is forced to reckon
with his destruction of the boy's family, D'Ray finds that Henry Earl is
his only advocate and the person who will ask of him what no one, not even
his family, had ever asked before. |
 A
Person of Interest by
Ernest Hill (Paperback - Oct 1, 2006)
At the start of Hill's compelling fifth novel (after
It's All About The Moon When The Sun Ain't Shining), recently widowed
Felicia Fontenot, who has returned home to Brownsville, Tenn., to care for
her elderly mother, looks out her bedroom window early one morning and sees
that the house across the street has become a crime scene. Her neighbor,
Luther Jackson, has come home to find the bodies of his wife and son both
burned beyond recognition after being doused with gasoline. Having secretly
loved Luther for more than 20 years, Felicia has a powerful urge to comfort
him and proclaim his innocence, even though Luther is the prime suspect
in the double murder. Harboring a shameful secret, Luther does little to
defend himself. His aunt, Daphne Gipson, perplexed by his silence, enlists
Felicia's aid in uncovering the truth. As the story unfolds through the
eyes of Felicia and Luther, these unforgettable characters come to full,
sympathetic life. |
 Cry
Me A River by
Ernest Hill (Paperback - May 1, 2004)
Other Editions:
Hardcover ~ At age 40, and after 10 years, Tyrone Stokes has been
released from prison. He returns to his mother's home in Louisiana to learn
that his 17-year-old son, Marcus, is in jail--on death row for the rape
and murder of a young white girl. Tyrone does not really know his son nor
has his wife, Pauline, allowed their son to communicate with him, yet he
is convinced that Marcus is innocent. With only eight days left before the
scheduled execution, Tyrone is hellbent on proving his son's innocence.
He begins interviewing people and discovers some interesting facts that
put the case against his son in question. Tyrone is willing to put his own
safety and freedom in jeopardy to end the suffering that his son, wife,
and family have endured because of his incarceration. Keeping his son alive
becomes his daily mantra, but just as important is his desire to make up
for his absence and put his family back together. |

All About The Moon When The Sun Ain't Shining

Other Editions:
Hardcover ~ Maurice Dupree is the repository of all of the dreams
of his hardworking parents, who eke out a living as a maid and a laborer
in Brownsville, Louisiana. Maurice is home on his last Christmas break before
he will graduate in May from Louisiana State University and is anxious to
see Omenita, his girlfriend since grade school. She is his first love, his
only love, and he's reluctant to tell her that after waiting four years
for him to graduate, she will now have to wait longer for him to finish
law school. Desperate to leave her dysfunctional family, Omenita is pressing
Maurice to marry her sooner rather than later. His mother, unhappy with
Omenita's family background, warns Maurice against a hasty decision and
pushes him to take the opportunity to be the first black lawyer in his hometown.
In this first-person narrative, Hill offers a poignant portrait of a young
man at a crossroads in his life, struggling with the true meaning of love
and torn between the pleadings of the women in his life. |
