Debut novelist Lisa Lewis Tyre vibrantly brings a small town
and its outspoken characters to life, as she explores race
and other community issues from both the Civil War and the
present day.
Lou might be only twelve, but she’s never been one to take
things sitting down. So when her Civil War-era house is
about to be condemned, she’s determined to save it—either by
getting it deemed a historic landmark or by finding the
stash of gold rumored to be hidden nearby during the war. As
Lou digs into the past, her eyes are opened when she finds
that her ancestors ran the gamut of slave owners, renegades,
thieves and abolitionists. Meanwhile, some incidents in her
town show her that many Civil War era prejudices still
survive and that the past can keep repeating itself if we
let it. Digging into her past shows Lou that it’s never too
late to fight injustice, and she starts to see the real
value of understanding and exploring her roots.
