"Kaufman is a fantastic writer with a distinctive poetic touch... It will be the rare reader who will not be moved by this soulful, poignant novel." –KIRKUS REVIEWS
A dying man. A buried injustice. And a mystery falling from the sky.
In 1897, as reports of mysterious airships spread across Texas, dying professor August Simms arrives in the small town of Rhome chasing one final purpose. Fifteen years earlier, he lost his wife there—on the same night an innocent Black man was lynched.
Now, as strange lights fill the sky and whispers of the unexplained grow louder, August begins to uncover a truth the town has tried to forget. But the past isn’t finished.
When new threats emerge and violence begins to stir again, August is forced to choose: spend his final days in peace—or risk everything to confront a legacy of injustice that refuses to stay buried.
Set against the backdrop of America’s first UFO wave, A Persistent Echo is a haunting historical mystery about courage, truth, and the cost of looking away.
