Diamondbacks, a powerful and poetic debut novel by Alabama-based
author Sandra K. Barnidge! Set in River City, where everything
revolves around the elegantly violent sport of warcheck, this
coming-of-age story follows Terra Laclem, daughter of a warcheck
legend, as she confronts family betrayal, inherited loyalties,
and a mysterious bond with her town’s beloved turtle mascots.
With lush prose and deep emotional insight, Barnidge explores
legacy, belonging, and the quiet rebellions that lead us home.
