Nitty-Gritty de Albuquerque is a tongue-in-cheek account of what it's really like for the average person to live in Albuquerque.

But it turns out that Andy, Sean's roommate, is another equally hot Southern firefighter, and so when a visitor - or perhaps two - joins Lea on that couch, it sparks a series of events that none of them could possibly have foreseen.

The wild conclusion to The Visitor Saga will leave Lea, her boys, and you breathless.

Evans took inspiration from John Henrik Clarke, Yosef-Ben Jochannan, Hubert Harrison, and John G. Jackson, champions of a rich Black tradition of challenging religious orthodoxy, and also from many others in his own community who had similarly come to question their core religious beliefs.
