Except for being the only man in town who had never set foot in either of its brothels, Wade Kendall couldn't be more ordinary. A retired life-insurance salesman, father of two grown sons, and former full-time caregiver to his wife, who died of cancer just 8 months earlier, Wade now finds himself alone, unable to tread water. In fact, it's sink or swim, and he's got no idea which way to shore. As he attempts to connect to his new life and reconnect with his adult sons, Wade finds himself drawn to a most unlikely source of hope-the pink neon lights of the legendary Lil' Mamacitas. But what Wade finds within the dim, hazy interior of the brothel isn't at all what he could have imagined, and for Wade and all who join him, nothing will ever be the same

12 quests. 12 relics. And a race to save the fate of the world.
"An impressive debut. Emotionally honest with lyricism and charm to spare, Nyani Nkrumah's Wade in the Water depicts in riveting detail a racially charged Mississippi town, the secrets it holds, and the precious heart and soul of a young girl deserving love."--Diane McKinney-Whetstone, author of Our Gen and Tumbling"Fearless. . . . Vividly bring s] to life rural 1980s Mississippi."--People"A dreamy, brutal, and revelatory reading experience that quickens the pulse and tugs the heart."--Diane McWhorter, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning Carry Me HomeResonant with the emotional urgency of Alice Walker's classic Meridian and the poignant charm of Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, a gripping debut novel of female power and vulnerability, race, and class that explores the unlikely friendship between a precocious black girl and a mysterious white woman in a small Mississippi town in the early 1980s.Set in 1982, in rural, racially divided Ricksville, Mississippi Wade in the Water tells the story of Ella, a black, unloved, precocious eleven-year-old, and Ms. St. James, a mysterious white woman from Princeton who appears in Ella's community to carry out some research. Soon, Ms. St. James befriends Ella, who is willing to risk everything to keep her new friend in a town that does not want her there. The relationship between Ella and Ms. St. James, at times loving and funny and other times tense and cautious, becomes more fraught and complex as Ella unwittingly pushes at Ms. St. James's carefully constructed boundaries that guard a complicated past, and dangerous secrets that could have devastating consequences. Told in two voices, Ella's and Ms. St. James's, and set around richly developed characters, this riveting, page turning coming of age story will keep readers entranced until the last shocking revelation.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION 2018A New York Times Notable Book of 2018Even the men in black armor, the onesJangling handcuffs and keys, what elseAre they so buffered against, if not love's bladeSizing up the heart's familiar meat?In Wade in the Water, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Tracy K. Smith's signature voice - inquisitive, lyrical and wry - turns over what it means to be a citizen, a mother and an artist in a culture arbitrated by wealth, men and violence. The various connotations of the title, taken from a spiritual once sung on the Underground Railroad which smuggled slaves to safety in 19th-century America, resurface throughout the book, binding past and present together. Collaged voices and documents recreate both the correspondence between slave owners and the letters sent home by African Americans enlisted in the US Civil War. Survivors' reports attest to the experiences of recent immigrants and refugees. Accounts of near-death experiences intertwine with the modern-day fallout of a corporation's illegal pollution of a major river and the surrounding land; and, in a series of beautiful lyrical pieces, the poet's everyday world and the growth and flourishing of her daughter are observed with a tender and witty eye. Marrying the contemporary and the historical to a sense of the transcendent, haunted and holy, this is a luminous book by one of America's essential poets.

Wade comes back to his home town after being away. He now has a special reason for returning.------ The cowboys had dealt with this stuck cow problem frequently. A flip of coin decided who would pull and who did the pushing. The plan was for Wade to throw a loop over the cows head and pull. Red would get behind and twist the tail, which gave Cow two reasons to move. And which mount had Wade saddled that day? None other than ole Dun, of outlaw fame. Wade was urging his horse to pull harder. Red was on foot behind the Cow, doing the twisting and pushing. The Dun horse, was slipping some, and pulling some. Then it had to happen, Dun got a firm spot, to put his hoofs on. That made cow lurch forward. Red was pushing and twisting, when the cow jumped on forward he fell in the mud. He had been putting a lot of effort into it. Even his face was muddy. Wade and Dun kept pulling and got the cow on firm ground. He was coiling his lasso, not saying anything. Wade knew Red would be mad, and did not want to make it worse. However ole Red was plenty mad, he figured his two "Pals", had purposely made him fall in the stinking mud. They had not done that. But if, there had been fifty witnesses, to tell Red they didn't, it would have done no good.
