About this audiobook
Chicago-born Armstrong Tom is fifteen, black and unused to the segregated ways of the Deep South when his mother sends him to spend the summer with relatives in her native rural Mississippi. For speaking a few innocuous words in French to a white woman, Armstrong pays the ultimate price when her husband and his friends come to teach him a lesson.
Each of these characters-white and black- are changed, then, and forever, by the horror of poverty, the legacy of justice, and love’s power to heal.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well written novel, loosely based on the story of the murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955. I particularly liked the characterization and depth the author imparts to both her protagonists and villains. I felt like I knew some of these people from my own childhood.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is a poignant reminder that hate can only beget hate.
