Dreamland Burning – Jennifer Latham
When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family’s property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the past, the present, and herself.
One hundred years earlier, a single violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self-discovery and face his inner demons in order to do what’s right the night Tulsa burns.
Review: This
review is different because I got this book from Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction. We both read it and had a discussion about it. You can read our thoughts over on Feed Your Fiction Addiction.
Loved the dual review! I had never heard of this part of American history either, and it's actually kind of timely. I've heard so many good things about this book, so I hope to get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteIt was really fun to do the review this way! Thanks for choosing a fantastic book!

This was so fun! I'm glad you both really liked the book. I'd heard OF it, but I haven't read it. It really does seem to show that history often repeats itself...sadly.
