Helpful Score: 1
This is an intense read in which you may come away with a deeper understanding for the burdened hearts and minds of those who are discriminated against. The final chapter, in which Ronzel shares his point of view, is loaded with thought provocation regarding how difficult it truly often is to simply "rise above." The characters are powerful and the drama even more so. I would love to see this book head to the big screen. If you can handle the dark realities of racism and are drawn to stories set in the deep south, stories that educate, this is one good read.
