Mystery Novel explores family dynamics, friendship, loss, grief, hardship, corruption, and human resilience: Flipped by Tracey Hawthorne
The novel delivers both drama and suspense, along with emotional depth and successful
character building. It’s a fast-paced, page-turning, and introspective mystery that intertwines human relationships and systemic failures. Hawthorne beautifully uses recurring natural metaphors–of water, cicadas, and cycles of life and death–to echo the characters’ struggles with loss, grief, and resilience.

The memoir explores themes that expand beyond racial violence but no doubt feed into it, such as white privilege, white positionality, student protests, capitalism, and systemic injustice.
