Story Behind The Book
I wrote the story because my father was the City Editor of a major newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia at the time these two rapes occurred. I was too young to take part in the real tale, but it is what might have happened had I been.

"This is an engrossing tale about black folks in the South during a specific time in American social history. I really liked the authentic narrator/voice of this young lady growing up and coming to grips with her idea of what is right and what is wrong . I highly recommend this read for young and older readers alike,"Brenda J. Young, Ph.D., Argosy University.<br /><br /><p style="margin:0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">“Do not expect fireworks in this book. There is nothing to celebrate in this tragic tale of too-recent history. Expect insight. Expect humanity. Expect a cruelly-wrought hope. Expect subtlety of prose style and storytelling. You will find them,” Tim Roux, author of ‘Missio’ and ‘The Dance of the Pheasodile’.</span></p><p></p>
