Nancy L. (NancyAZ) reviewed on + 95 more book reviews
In the 1960's Robert Nichols moved his family to Sellerstown NC to serve as pastor at a local church. Their life there was fine for a time and then a powerful member of the community (not even a member of the church) began to harass, threaten, and initiate violent attacks on Nichols and his family.
This is a true story by one of the now-grown children. The story in and of itself is sad and horrific. The writing is poor. The description of the events that the family endured over 7 years went on and on and other parts of the story were totally unnecessary. It angered me that Robert and his wife would allow their children to stay in a place where threats and fear and dynamite bombs and other atrocities became their way of life. ... No one in the church or in the town did anything to stop this man. It is a story of forgiveness which is always a good thing but I think after one or two bombings the family should have been out of there!
