Anne Aletha (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798300805722)

In 1918, against the backdrop of WWI, a re-emerging Ku Klux Klan, and the Spanish Influenza, Anne Aletha, a young unconventional schoolteacher, inherits her uncle's cash-strapped farm in the small South Georgia town of Ray's Mill and plunges herself and those she loves into the violence of the Klan when she takes a stand against racial injustice. Evoking the fortitude of Jane Eyre and the moral conscience of To Kill a Mockingbird, Anne Aletha invites the reader to reflect on the legacy of civil rights and women's suffrage and the road that still remains to be traveled.
