Praise for the First Edition

Funerals and a young man’s induction into adulthood are both significant and celebrated rites of passage in the Deep South. Joshua Jones has skillfully accomplished a marriage of these poignant, painful milestones in his first novel. Readers are hooks from the first sentence and grieve even after they read the last few words.
- John Shivers, author of Hear My Cry and Broken Spirit

Joshua Jones’ sharp sense of character and setting make this book come to life. One of the most enjoyable Southern novels I’ve read in a long time.
- John Floyd, author of Rainbow’s End and Other Stories

Coming Soon 

There’s a school inside every school, one adults never see.
The Secret School explores the hidden lessons kids learn from each other: about identity, power, belonging, and survival. While educators focus on grades and goals, a different curriculum is unfolding in hallways, lunchrooms, and group chats. Are we paying attention?
