Mastonia, Arkansas, 1926. A town of 237 souls built by Black families in the Ouachita Mountains. When a well-dressed stranger arrives with a whistle that slides beneath doors and into dreams, people begin to disappear. Not violently. They simply stop being. Etta Mae Crawford, Keeper of Names, has forty years of ink that does not fade. She will not let her town be erased.
