Living in 1920s Oregon is especially hard for bi-racial Hanalee Denney. The only way for Hanalee to get the answers she needs is to ask Hank himself, a “haint” wandering the roads at night." Now her father’s killer is out of jail and back in town, and he claims that Hanalee’s father wasn’t killed by the accident at all but, instead, was poisoned by the doctor who looked after him-who happens to be Hanalee’s new stepfather. Plus, her father, Hank Denney, died a year ago, hit by a drunk-driving teenager. She has almost no rights by law, and the Ku Klux Klan breeds fear and hatred in even Hanalee’s oldest friendships. 1920s Oregon is not a welcoming place for Hanalee Denney, the daughter of a white woman and an African-American man. Goodreads says, " A thrilling reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, The Steep and Thorny Way tells the story of a murder most foul and the mighty power of love and acceptance in a state gone terribly rotten.
