"White Flight by Peter O'Keefe opened with a roar and then I couldn't work my finger fast enough to keep up. A married couple attempts to navigate an unspoken tragedy haunting every corner of their dream house - and every layer of their dreams. But there's an undercurrent of racial disquiet lingering in the air that kept me on edge, like I was waiting on the other shoe to drop. O'Keefe deftly sets the landscape and paints a picture of a home wrapped in overwhelming sadness and dysfunction, but he also builds an unsettling suspense that makes you clench your throat because you just know there's something else there. And there is...something else." - Kenya Moss-Dyme, author of SEED

"This is not your ordinary haunted house story. It's the starkly beautiful, heart-wrenching tale of a white couple who lose their black daughter in a tragic accident. A display of love so well-meaning that it becomes caustic, and even with the best of intentions, every decision they make leads to something more horrific than they could ever imagine. Peter O'Keefe's book will wreck your soul, and you will stand up and applaud him fiercely for doing so!" - Jill Girardi, Author and Owner of Kandisha Press

"A brutal look at the tensions of American racism, O'Keefe's White Flight is a lightning-paced haunted house tale that asks hard questions. The novella holds up a mirror to white America. Those brave enough to look are in for a hell of a ride." -Elizabeth Broadbent, author of BLOOD CYPRESS
