Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award " The Chaneysville Incident rivals Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon  as the best novel about the black experience in America since Ellison's Invisible Man ." —  Christian Science Monitor

The legends say something happened in Chaneysville.  The Chaneysville Incident  is the powerful story of one man's obsession with discovering what that something was a quest that takes the brilliant and bitter young Black historian John Washington back through the secrets and buried evil of his heritage. Returning home to care for and then bury his father's closest friend and his own guardian, Old Jack Crawley, John comes upon the scant records of his family's proud and tragic history, which he drives himself to reconstruct and accept. This is the story of John's relationship with his family, the town, and the woman he loves; and also between the past and the present, between oppression and guilt, hate and violence, love and acceptance.

About Our Candles

Our candles are hand poured and labeled in small batches to ensure quality and consistency. Our candles are made with organic soy wax, organic cotton wicks, and phthalate free fragrances.

Wax can easily be cleaned out of the jar with hot soapy water and the jar can be reused or recycled.

Due to the nature of soy wax, you may notice frosting or a spot where the wax has pulled slightly away from the jar. This is completely normal for soy and does not affect the quality or performance of your candle.

On the first burn, keep lit until a full melt pool forms on the top layer. Your candle has memory and getting a full melt pool will ensure the longevity of your candle and prevent tunneling.

Always trim your wicks to 1/4" before each burn.
