Razorblade Tears

This book is written by S.A. Cosby. S.A. Cosby is from Southeastern Virginia and many of the places he mentioned or described, I knew because I grew up in Southwestern Virginia. Ike and Buddy Lee never accepted either one of their son’s sexuality. The never accepted that their son’s married one another either, nor that they mixed their sperm together and had a surrogate provide them a child to raise, a daughter.

Ike and Buddy Lee were both convicts and had never met each other until the day of their children’s funeral. Derek and Isaiah were married to one another and their daughters name was Arianna. One man was black and the other one was white. Ike and his wife was tasked with raising their grand daughter. Ike had been out prison for fifteen years and had a successful landscaping business.

The police came to both men and told them that they were going to close the investigation into the deaths of their sons. The police said that none of the friends were talking or providing any leads for them to follow and the case was going cold after only several weeks. One day, Buddy Lee came to Ike and asked him if he was going to do anything about the police not doing anything. Then said when you decide call me. One day, Ike went to visit the graves and found that the head stones had been severely damaged, run into with a truck and the graves ran over by a truck as well.
