Suspenseful with a twist, I was gripped until the end. Well written story based on true events about a part of American history that I didn’t know happened in Oklahoma. I wish it wasn’t true but it’s important to acknowledge that these white mobs happened and learn from their hate/ignorance that there is a better way to treat those we don’t understand and to see all people as worthy of love and respect.

Standing up for what is right is always challenging and takes courage but so many people have found that courage over the years.

It was a good book. One story, 2 different main characters, 2 experiences... they intersected seamlessly in the end. The best part is the truth hidden within the fiction.

I liked the story line but I found that following two different characters in two different time periods made it a little confusing.

This was an amazing book. I didn't know much at all about the Tulsa riots and having the perspectives of the characters was great! If you like mysteries and history, read this now!!!?
