Red Clay Legacy
J. A. Chester

In Hollow Pines, Alabama, a name can weigh more than truth—and Leona Mayfield knows this firsthand. With rumors swirling and a past full of shadows, all she wants is peace. But when a quiet glance turns into an unexpected invitation, Leona steps into a world of church socials, Southern hospitality, and sharpened tongues.
As Jimmy Eldridge fights his own demons, and family tensions mount, the town’s heat becomes more than just the sun overhead. Secrets simmer. Gossips stir. And love, the kind that defies reputation and ruins, refuses to be silenced.
From stormy porches to roadside reckonings, Red Clay Legacy is a raw, soulful, and gripping portrait of Southern Black resilience, where pride, pain, and passion collide—and one woman decides how her story will be told.
