After sustaining a serious injury during an S/M scene with her lover, Po Childs checks herself into a psychiatric hospital for a 72 hour rest. While there, Po vividly recounts her life's most memorable incidents, populated by unforgettable relatives like imperishable Uncle Ray, cigar-smoking Aunt Florida, sister Onya with her unquenchable thirst, and brother Bobby of the Ministers of Allah.

Tradition
For the last sixty years, Gus Weesfree has been harboring a secret and running from a ghost. In 1947, at the age of twenty-five, he witnessed his best friend commit murder. The woman who was killed was thought to be white. Rather than come forward to tell what he saw, worried that the truth would see his best friend lynched, he kept his mouth shut and instead fled town. Now, an old man approaching the end of a life haunted by memory and guilt, he returns home to Tradition, the rural Ohio town where the murder took place, to set things right and clear his conscience. Setting things right, however, proves not so easy. His best friend, though still alive, is lost in the debilitating throes of Dementia and has no idea who he is; his older sister, Mabel—the family he left behind—is a lifelong alcoholic who long ago presumed he was dead, and to make matters worse, his old neighborhood has been purchased and razed by developers planning to turn it into an upscale gated community.

Set against the backdrop of a Jim Crow era Midwest, the Depression, World War II, and the Twenty-first century present in a narrative that weaves back and forth between present and past, TRADITION is a story about family, love, race, gender, growing old and the ways in which our actions and attitudes of the past inform and dictate those of the present.
