This was required reading for a civil rights class I took in college. I have chosen to pick this book up several times since. I love the way it explores both sides of the incident. We see one family suffer and then pick themselves up again after the loss of their son. At the same time we see another family reeling from the trial and confused because the world has changed for them.

It is a great exploration of life in the South and a snapshot of changing justice during this tumultuous time.
