Summary

What if Abel had killed Cain, but there was no jury of his peers?

In 1928 Georgia, a black man who kills a white man is automatically guilty, but the bedwarmer's son, an ex-slave, is no normal black man. And the dead white man is his half-brother. Once his lily-white lawyer lady learns the truth, everything changes. Can she save him from swinging?

Will the bedwarmer murder the one she's been bought to serve?

From the antebellum South, come travel the dusty trails of Jim Crowe Dalton, Georgia, with slave and master, saint and sinner. See if God is really big enough, if he truly cares about his children. McAdoo has done it again, this time in a brand new way. A delightful morsel for the palates of Christian listeners world round.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review, so let's begin.

This is a genre I usually avoid because the subject is so distressing, but for some reason, this book spoke to me (quite literally as it's an audiobook). 😋
I found the storytelling captivating, and the narrator was perfect. Where there is heartbreak and tragedy 💔 😢 beauty and joy can also be found if you search hard enough. I highly recommend this book and narrator. I'll definitely read more from this author in the future!
