The silence of a spiritual community is shattered by the murder of one of their own. Jordan and Rahman Gaffney-Bruce, newly married men, move into the eccentric Washington neighborhood known as Slope to start building a life together. Built precariously on a hill, Slope is home to descendants of the Great Migration and is now a lower middle class Black community trapped in a cycle of spiritual depression. In the midst of this community, the Gaffney Bruces gather with the other residents every Sunday in quiet prayer and contemplation, in hopes that their collective dreams will be realized: To be seen. To be known. To thrive-on their own terms. Alongside them is Pops, the quiet old man who has seen it all; Miss Sandra, the matriarch and maven of Sunday dinners; Royce, one of the few good cops left; and the Gang of Four-soft-spoken Peek, angry Korey, flamboyant Ziggy, and Gino, the natural leader. When one of the youths is felled by gun violence, generations-old secrets threaten to unravel the serenity of this peculiar community. A Peculiar Legacy: A Novel by Rashid Darden
