A Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan

[BOSSHOG]

1. That was such a disturbing book

I read it several months ago. I just can’t understand what makes monsters tick. My father was born and raised in Indiana. My oldest cousin, pushing 80 has lived his life in Indiana. He dabbles in genealogy and told me he’s pretty sure our paternal grandfather was in the Klan in the 1920s. Not surprising that any white man was in the klan then in Indiana. I’m happy to say that the poison never rubbed off on me and my brother. We never lived in Indiana thank goodness.

You are right My Friend, the similarities exist. And the fight continues. I’m holding on to that book and right now I don’t know why.
