I loved this book. I purchased as a Kindle discount and was delightedly surprised and now going to read everything by Ann Tatlock. It is two stories intertwined ( Japanese American family living in LA before of W.W.II, and the KKK in the Deep South in 1960's). I felt like it was a bonus and loved the way she wove the two together.I grew up in the 60s in the south so I was very aware of the racism but this book helped me see how deep and wide spread the problems were. God forgive us all.It was a hectic week for me so it took a week to read. I looked forward to getting back to the characters every night. You know its a good book when you think about the characters for weeks after the read. I miss them.
