Part history lesson and part twisted family drama, this audiobook gets in your head and remains there. Narrating from three perspectives spanning three time periods, narrators Catherine Taber, Dorothy Blue, and Chris Gebauer introduce Imogene, Beth, and Tilly. Young Beth witnesses a shocking crime and then is abducted. Imogene, daughter of a KKK leader, has tried her whole life to distance herself from that legacy as she faces tremendous personal loss. Tilly, once a Klan member, is trying to remain out of the chaos created by a resurgence of the movement and protect those he loves. Their lives ultimately collide in unexpected, life-changing ways. This audiobook asks important questions about how to fight hate, how to distance ourselves from the past, and what we’ll do for those we love. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
