In Book 3 of The Redemption Mountain Collection, an allegorical fantasy and retelling of The Book of Genesis, Appalachian style, African American child Annabelle Rose Cass is eleven years old when the Ku Klux Klan destroy her sweet small world and kill her large family ...her brother, John Thomas, the lone survivor. As a ghost, Annabelle Rose tells their story: brother and sister thrown out of Paradise into the hostile world of the 1920s white Conservative Christian South. Embittered and hateful from the attack, sweet-natured John Thomas is beyond Annabelle's best ghostly efforts to stop him from avenging their loss and falling into dire and murderous darkness. On her unexpectedly eccentric afterlife journey, Annabelle Rose meets God. (Yes, him.) A trillion-year-old skinny, banjo-pickin', black man ... Old Lordy ... is not coping well after a million years of boredom, and now growing dementia. He is not only searching for a replacement before his mind slips completely ... with Annabelle Rose his new associate, they walk the earth (an epic one square mile) deciding what to do with disappointing humanity. And will a sassy, precocious, eleven-year-old black child become God, the Female? With great imagination, Black Angels, another of Jason Taylor Morgan's deeply character-driven magical narratives, offers wide literary scope of heartbreak and vengeance, warmth and insight, mysticism and humor.
