After a hasty trial, he was sentenced to a life of grueling labor on a chain gang and abuse at the hands of brutal wardens. But now, with his forty-year prison sentence completed, Ben is finally returning home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As he struggles to understand the profound changes the world has undergone, some things remain painfully the same—including the hateful animosity towards Black people and the fact that the real murderer is still living the life of a genteel southerner. Working to rebuild his life and see justice served, Ben faces one confrontation after another—with friend, foe, and a daughter who thinks he is dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this novel based on a real Depression Era murder case, author and Georgia historian Stephen Doster presents a vividly accurate depiction of Jim Crow’s long and painful legacy.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46586526793983,"sku":"9781504078238","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_de70ace6-f900-4044-9cc8-49b23be3313a.jpg?v=1739226996","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781504078238","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
