To Be Called Mary: A Tale of the Lookout Lynching, Paperback

Descriere

In 1901, a group of incensed locals lynched a family in Lookout, California. Corrie, a child witness to the crime, lives in shame for not speaking up that night to protect her young friend, Martin. Unwanted, Corrie must make her way from Lookout to the Nevada desert town of Denio. Afraid of further rejection, she finds more kinship with the desert than with people. Words find Corrie across the expanse. Are they memories of her father, whispers of young love, or do they hold the power of life, forgiveness, and hope?
