Episode 252: Latest Rachel Howzell Hall Crime Novel Addresses Trauma, Rage, and Race

Hopeton Hay Podcasts

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Rachel Howzell Hall, author of WHAT NEVER HAPPENED. Set on the Catalina Islands in California, the protagonist "Colette “Coco” Weber has relocated to her Catalina Island home, where, twenty years before, she was the sole survivor of a deadly home invasion. All Coco wants is to see her aunt Gwen, get as far away from her ex as possible, and get back to her craft—writing obituaries." In the interview Hall explained how her novel explored the problematic issues that can plague friendships between black and white women, and the barriers erected to keep Blacks away from Catalina Island when the Wrigley family purchased it in 1919.
