Anthon James Andrews was traumatized by a hanging as a thirteen year old. He becomes the Arkansas Sun's first black reporter in the 1960s, stumbles upon a mysteriously vacated town, and finds
evidence of foul play. Racial retribution and a search for personal salvation accompany Andrews in his quest to find the disturbing answers. There are a number of books that deal with black
families as victims in the south. Few address the reverse.
