1964 – Mississippi
A timely and riveting book inspired by real people/events.
At a civil rights rally, Sam Ransom who is at his first pastoral appointment in Holmes County, Mississippi, is reunited with two childhood friends. Will their reunion be a happy one or one marred by tragedy? Meeting and spending time with friends is a wonderful thing, but this book is set during the Freedom Summer of 1964 and there is racism, the Klan, the fight for equality, danger, love, a sense of loyalty and duty.
This book is exceptionally written and provided to also be education for me. Inspired by true events, this book had me looking up more information on the Freedom Summer of 1964. There are parts that will be uncomfortable for some to read. Read them anyway.
Thought provoking, moving, and gripping.
