On a cold, wet October afternoon Grayson Simmons learns something surprising about himself and who he thought he was. That revelation doesn’t just upset the applecart, but smashes it to pieces, forcing him to decide how to reconstruct his life.
Grayson now must ask himself what it means to be a member of one so-called “race” or another. Who is Black? Who is white? Is a person who is the product of an African-American father and a white mother, Black, white, or something else? How should a person who has always identified as a member of one “race” or caste proceed once he has learned of his biracial ancestry?
During the course of Excavating the Truth Grayson learns about the violent death of the young man who had been his father. After much soul searching, he ultimately concludes that, even though one's skin tone should not matter, in twenty-first century America it still does.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My Brooklyn roots and many of my experiences growing up in that famed and often defamed borough reside in my core. So many years and countless thousands of experiences after I moved out and moved on, images of places and people and bits of actual conversations from years in the past return to me in waves. They infuse much of my writing.

Let's dig a little deeper: within Brooklyn's 97 square miles is my old neighborhood, Bensonhurst, which serves as more than just the setting for my first two novels, THE OUTCAST PROPHET OF BENSONHURST and RETURNING TO THE LION'S DEN: LIFE IN AN ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILY. It is a background character, sometimes jubilant and buoyant, often cheerless and gloomy, but always affecting and often guiding the lives of the people in my books and stories. Yes, there’s a bigger world out there, and that’s where I live now, but I always return to my source.

Jenine Bivona
5.0 out of 5 stars Another compelling and interesting book my Manfre
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023
A compelling look into how racism from decades ago continues to impact the present day. This is a story of loss on so many levels and how it can impact so many lives before love conquers all.
