Lakewood

Lakewood is a provocative debut that explores themes of class, race, and ethical dilemmas through the story of Lena Johnson, a young woman who takes a job at a secret medical research program in a remote Michigan town to support her family. As she uncovers the true nature of the experiments and the potential consequences, the novel delves into the moral complexities faced by working-class families and the history of exploitation in medical science. With a compelling narrative, Lakewood offers a thought-provoking look at the costs of scientific progress and the sacrifices made by those on the margins.
