Beautifully crafted example of "small" history at its best. Irresistibly and effortlessly sweeps the reader into a time and place seething with racist tension and then tells a forgotten story featuring virtually unknown actors caught in a life-or-death drama. A book you'll wish were longer...a book you won't forget. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis
