My first novel, 'Leaving Atlanta,' took at look at my hometown in the late 1970s, when the city was terrorized by a serial murderer that left at least 29 African-American children dead.
“I don't want to make more friends. I have four kids, I have plenty of friends, and all the personal relationships I need.”
