In 1943, when a frail old white woman shows up in Red Clay, Alabama, at the home of a Black former slave—on the morning following his funeral—his family hardly knows what to expect after she utters the words “… a lifetime ago, my family owned yours.” Adelaide Parker has a story to tell—one of ambition, betrayal, violence, and redemption—that shaped both the fate of her family and that of the late Felix H. Parker. But there are gaps in her knowledge, and she’s come to Red Clay seeking answers from a family with whom she shares a name and a history that neither knows in full.

The Narrator’s Favorite Performance of 2019
"I have never narrated anything quite like it."
"I had several intriguing projects in 2019. But the one that stands out above all others is Marlon James's fantastic Black Leopard, Red Wolf. The first in a trilogy, BLRW is a mythical Africa-inspired grown-up fantasy and a straight up fever dream; narrating it was an incredible experience. I have never narrated anything quite like it. Scary monsters and super freaks, complicated humans and fantastic, complicated beasts all on a dangerous rueful ride straight through the heart. So many characters, such range of emotion, such beauty and humor and terror. It's a masterpiece. I hope my storytelling is as dynamic as the story is compelling—and that listeners enjoy it. I did!"
