About this audiobook
In the summer of 1925, a violent encounter inside R. B. Kelly & Bros. store in Chauncey, Georgia left two men dead and a community searching for answers. Reckoning at Chauncey reimagines that moment through a Southern Gothic lens, grounded in historical record and family memory.
The story follows the events leading up to the gunfight, beginning at Jay Bird Springs where tensions first surfaced, and continuing through the roads, farms, and small towns of Dodge County. As the narrative unfolds, it examines the forces that shaped the tragedy—pride, reputation, law, and the expectations placed on men in a rural Southern community.
But the novel is not only about what happened. It is also about how it has been remembered. Through layered perspectives and shifting accounts, Reckoning at Chauncey explores the gap between fact and memory, and how stories change as they are passed down.
