The day he buried his pa, Nobe Chase lost everything--his father, his home, and his dog. Worst yet, he had to move into town to live with Sheriff Leonard, the man who'd shot his dog dead. From that moment, hate burns in Nobe's heart. Soon he learns how dangerous that can be when hate sparks a race riot in nearby Tulsa. When the violence spills over into his hometown, Nobe must decide what kind of man he is going to become--one driven by vengeance or honor.

Anna Myers is the author of twenty books for young people. She is a native of west Texas, where, so she was told, her brother pulled her from a tumbleweed. The family returned to Oklahoma when she was still an infant. She has lived in the state since then save for two years in New York where she was married at Woodstock to a fellow Oklahoman. Myers has received four Oklahoma Book Awards as well as a Lifetime Achievement medal from the Oklahoma Center for the Book. A member of the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame, Myers lives in Tulsa where she is at work on a new book.
"In this emotional page-turner, Myers expertly captures an era of poisonous racism while conveying the strong, true voice of a courageous young man . . . Compassion and hope prevail in a powerful novel." ----Booklist, starred review (1st edition hardcover)
"[A] gripping novel. . . . The plot develops with a lively, captivating pace that is sure to engage. . . . Based on real events, this absorbing book is excellent for group discussion." ----School Library Journal (1st editioni hardcover)
