Beheld: A Novel by TaraShea Nesbit: Asking the Questions of WHO Gets To Tell The Story?

By Heidi Holtan
Published November 23, 2021 at 11:36 AM CST

Suspenseful and beautifully wrought, Beheld is about a murder and a trial, and the motivations―personal and political―that cause people to act in unsavory ways. It is also an intimate portrait of love, motherhood, and friendship that asks: Whose stories get told over time who gets believed―and subsequently, who gets punished?

Besides a gripping storyline in this book of historical fiction by TaraShea Nesbit, she pushes us as readers to ask "why haven't we heard these stories before? Who gets to tell stories and who is forgotten?
