A fascinating look at how words or lack of words can have harmful effects that can free or condemn someone.

Excellent book with a tie-in to, To Kill Mocking Bird. Great book. You feel as if you are there with some of the most likable characters you'll ever meet. Set in a small town where a tragic death sends ripples throughout the entire community, it is a story of turmoil, tragedy, love, family, and secrets. There's a lot to discuss here.
So sad. Terrible, awesome grace is demonstrated by Pastor Drum and Jake as the family navigates unspeakable horrors in the summer of 1961. Frank is the narrator of the story and as we see the events of that summer unfold through his 13 yr old eyes, it’s easy to remember the simplicity of the era or is it merely youth that provides the simplicity? Themes of faith, family, integrity shine through.
