Chapter 1
—
A lineage, read down through the ground
The Grigsby Line — Lincolnshire to Rebekah
From a lost chalk farmstead in the Lincolnshire Wolds — across the Danelaw, the Norman conquest, an ocean, and the migrating American South — to Rebekah Ruth Ryan, and a name still spoken. Nine chapters, each read a page at a time. The map mutes to its period and draws its own coast; the water runs.
