Red Clay and Brunswick Stew is a collection of sixteen short stories, all set in or near the fictional North Carolina town of Chockoyotte (pronounced "choc.yot" with the emphasis on the first syllable). Some of the stories have interrelated characters, and all are arranged chronologically, beginning in 1961 and ending shortly before the 2020 presidential election. The book's main focus is on how excruciatingly difficult it is to break down the barriers between black people and white people. In the book's first story "A Small Confusion," a white boy's conventional concept of race is challenged when he witnesses the brutalization of a black man. In "Old Women" two lonely people, one white and one black, find solace in each other's company, though they are never completely able to connect. In "Just Passing Through" a naive, ultra liberal white college student finds himself the victim of racial discrimination. In "The March," the book's final story, two strong-willed men, one white and one black, are able to rise above their prejudices and become friends. Not all the stories in this collection are about race. Most are simply about people, black and white, caught in difficult situations and struggling, often heroically, to do what they believe is right.

After being fired from her job as an investigative reporter and spending several days in a mental health facility for a manic episode caused by her bipolar disorder, Abby Burlew is hoping to get her life back on track. To recuperate from her mental breakdown, she ideally needs a stress-free, upbeat environment. She doesn't get one. Shortly after subletting her apartment to a fellow patient she befriended in the mental health center, Abby learns that this person was found murdered on the apartment's doorstep and that it's unclear if she or Abby was the intended victim. The friend had a troubled past and several potential enemies, while Abby, a major witness in an upcoming unrelated murder trial, could also be a target. Abby must contend with the investigation of her friend's murder, the upcoming trial where she is the star witness, and a stalker who is threatening Abby as well as her family, all while navigating the challenges of her mental illness.

When Tom Sinclair, an enthusiastic but inexperienced young minister, arrives at his first parish in a small North Carolina town in 1962, he has no idea what troubles lie ahead. One weekend he is called unexpectedly out of town and returns to find that a murder occurred that morning in his parish house office. Since the victim was killed while sitting at Tom's desk, the sheriff thinks Tom might have been the intended target and warns him to watch his step. Tom, however, has recently learned an ugly secret about the victim which could have led to his murder, and he doesn't take the warning seriously. But Tom also has made his share of enemies. He has defended the right of an old black man to attend the formerly all-white church, thereby alienating many members of the congregation, including the most powerful family in town. In addition, he has become romantically involved with a divorced parishioner who has an abusive ex-husband and a deeply troubled son, both of whom have a reason for wanting Tom dead.

Deeply saddened by the murder of Will Ramsdell, the retired police chief of Wisteria, Virginia, who helped her with her first investigative assignment, Abby Burlew, who suffers from bipolar disorder, heads to Wisteria to make sure Will's killer is brought to justice. Ignoring the likelihood that she will cycle into mania brought on by the strain of her investigation, she partners with Marty Stith-a friend of Will's who lives and works at Pinecroft, the mom-and-pop golf course where Will was murdered. Suspects abound, including Marty Stith himself, who Abby has reason to believe is orchestrating what she learns and when she learns it. Two of the suspects are murdered, and a third person, with no apparent reason for wanting Will dead, claims to be his killer. As Abby struggles to make sense of all this, she comes ever closer to losing her sanity-and her life.
