When a family’s matriarch is on her deathbed, they all gather back to Jerusalem, Texas, the hometown where their unresolved trauma began crashing through the generations. In LaToya Watkins’ debut novel, “Perish,” the family begins untangling the rotted, gnarled roots of their tree. Watkins’ approach is as suspenseful as a crime novel, as dramatic as a soap opera, and as familiar as your own family.
