When the harvest comes : a novel / Denne Michele Norris.
"Reverend Doctor John Freeman did not raise his son, Davis, to be touched by any man, let alone a white man. He did not raise his son to whisper a man's name with tenderness. But on the eve of his wedding, all Davis can think of is how beautiful he wants to look when he meets his beloved Everett at the altar. Never mind that his mother, who died decades before, and his father, who spurred him to flee their home in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, for a freer life in New York City, won't be there to walk him down the aisle. All Davis needs to be happy in this life is Everett, his new family, and his career as an award-winning violist. When Davis learns at the wedding reception that his father has been in a car accident, years of childhood trauma and unspoken emotion resurface. In the wake of his father's death, Davis revisits everything that went wrong between them, pushing his fledgling marriage and irresistible self-confidence into a spiral of despair"-- Provided by publisher.
