"A ruthlessly honest account of the new progressive South still struggling with a very old legacy of hate."—USA Today
"A shocking and ultimately heartening case study of political involvement, social action, and religious faith. . . .Johnson spins a far wider web and covers the rise of the Klan in the South; an enormous, seemingly planned, epidemic of vandalism inflicted upon southern black churches in the 1980s and 1990s; and the complicated racial politics of the southern law enforcement and legal system. . . . By the end, the book becomes a stimulating whodunit and courtroom drama."—Publishers Weekly
"A gripping page-turner. . . . This touching and compelling story of the heinous effect hate crimes can have on a community delivers the uplifting message that people can overcome hatred and renew a community."—Library Journal
"Shows how faith, love, and sheer bullheadedness may lose battle after battle against racism and still win the war."—O Magazine
