Bookroo's summary
In 1924 Vermont, twelve-year-old Leanora and six-year-old Esther face a rising tide of hatred as the Ku Klux Klan infiltrates their town. As fear spreads, the community's true colors emerge, leaving the girls to navigate a world where safety is a fragile illusion. Will they find allies in unexpected places, or will the darkness consume their home? Through a tapestry of voices, the town's struggle unfolds, revealing the courage and resilience of those who dare to stand against the tide of bigotry.
From the publisher
Leanora Sutter. Esther Hirsh. Merlin Van Tornhout. Johnny Reeves… These characters are among the unforgettable cast inhabiting a small Vermont town in 1924. A town that turns against its own when the Ku Klux Klan moves in. No one is safe, especially the two youngest, twelve-year-old Leanora, an African-American girl, and six-year-old Esther, who is Jewish.
