A Little Space of Grace: Notes From An Attic Dweller - Hardcover

When the floodwaters rise over Imperial Drive, Wayman Figures chooses not to run. While the rest of the neighborhood prepares to escape the coming hurricane, Wayman remains behind, convinced that the storm is more than disaster. It is a divine interruption, a long-awaited pause in time, and perhaps the only space where he can finally confront the life he has been avoiding.

Trapped in the attic of his New Orleans home, surrounded by rushing water and the wreckage of memory, Wayman begins a deeply personal spiritual journey. His thoughts move between childhood, marriage, faith, family wounds, generational trauma, near-death experiences, and the painful question of how grace became a race for survival. In the silence above the flood, he wrestles with God, with himself, and with the unresolved pieces of his past.

Rich with Southern voice, biblical reflection, cultural memory, and emotional intensity,

A Little Space of Grace: Notes from an Attic Dweller is a literary Christian novel about brokenness, redemption, identity, marriage, and the sacred work of becoming whole. For readers drawn to faith-based fiction, African American literary fiction, Southern storytelling, and stories of spiritual transformation, this novel offers a powerful meditation on what happens when catastrophe becomes the very place where grace begins.
