In 1918, against the backdrop of WWI, a re-emerging Ku Klux Klan, and the Spanish Influenza, Anne Aletha, a young unconventional schoolteacher, inherits her uncle's cash-strapped farm in the small South Georgia town of Ray's Mill and plunges herself and those she loves into the violence of the Klan when she takes a stand against racial injustice. Evoking the fortitude of Jane Eyre and the moral conscience of To Kill a Mockingbird, Anne Aletha invites the reader to reflect on the legacy of civil rights and women's suffrage and the road that still remains to be traveled. BookLife Reviews (Editor's Pick) called it a "real heartstring-tugger" and "immersive." Kirkus Reviews said, "A thoughtful account of early-20th-century racial tensions."
