My family sent me the book to me here at colege at SMU in Dallas, Texas. I was very frightened when I read it. I didn't need to know more details about the terrible people who committed the murder of James Byrd, Jr. We needed to put that murder behind us, heinous as it was and not dwell on it but heal from the murder. Now I find it unthinkable that someone would sensationalize and market and profit from a book that the family of Mr. Byrd. For one thing, I pray the proceeds went to the family as they need it, much more than the author who wrote it would.
