Description

2010 Christy Award-Winner!Jessilyn Lassiter never understood when she turned 13 that hate might hide within the individual center before summer of 1932. When her closest friend, Gemma, loses her parents in a tragic fire, Jessilynis father vows to take care of her as you of their own, even though that Gemma is dark and bias is predominant within their southern Virginia city. Assault rises up like a ragtag group of Ku Klux Klan people combine and choose to take things to their own hands. As concerns mount in the little neighborhood, loyalties are tested and Jessilyn is compelled to express good bye for the carefree days of her childhood.
