But the memory of that horrible event, and the animosity and hatred it stirred in her, were not easily shaken. Settling in, she was confident she had escaped the horrors of her hometown. After a devastating and horrible event, Katie moves with three of her four children to a relative’s house in a majority-white suburb of Los Angeles. Here, she could witness God’s handiwork in the beauty of the land. Her farm, which she shared with her activist husband, became her oasis, her retreat. Raising her family in the turbulent ‘60s in a segregated rural Alabama town, Katie Parker understood the ugliness of racism and Jim Crow all too well. I so enjoyed reading the story of Katie Smith and her journey toward forgiveness. The Color of Redemption tackles racism from a different perspective. Lynn Cornell released his first novel last month. He has been a faithful member and participant since our critique group formed. I am so excited to welcome my friend and fellow member of my Word Weaver Aurora group to my blog today.
