Pitts Jr., Leonard

A well-researched, powerfully written novel that takes readers into the heart of the civil rights movement in the South, leaving out none of the anguish, uncertainty, and despair felt by so many involved, but also remembering the courage and hope demonstrated by the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery marchers.

Impeccably researched, this compelling historical novel, with its important message about social justice, is essential for fiction collections.
