MUDBOUND by Hillary Jordan

When Henry McAllan moves his city-bred wife, Laura, to a cotton farm in the Mississippi Delta in 1946, she finds herself in a place that is both foreign and frightening. As the McAllan's are tested in every way two celebrated soldiers of World War II return home to help work on the farm. Ronsel Jackson is the eldest son of a black sharecropper who live on the McAllan farm. Jamie is everything that his older brother Henry is not.

Mudbound reveals how everyone becomes a player in a tragedy on the grandest scale as they strive for love and honor.
