Marcia Preston recommends

Winter's Reckoning (2022)
Adele Holmes M D
"In Adele Holmes's debut novel, a white herbalist and her Black best friend challenge a slick conman and the KKK in 1917 rural America. The strong characters and vivid sense of place lingered in my mind long after the last page. That's my measure of a darned good book."
