Jesus Land: A Memoir
Author: Julia Scheeres Category: Publisher: Counterpoint Published: June 11, 2019 ISBN: 1640092161 Pages: 400
Description:
Over a decade after its first publication, Jesus Land remains deeply resonant with readers. Now with a new preface by the author, this New York Times bestselling memoir is a gripping tale of rage and redemption, hope and humor, morality and malice―and most of all, the truth: that being a good person takes more than just going to church.
Julia and her adopted brother, David, are sixteen years old. Julia is white. David is black. It is the mid-1980s and their family has just moved to rural Indiana, a landscape of cottonwood trees, trailer parks, and an all-encompassing racism. In this riveting and heartrending memoir, Julia Scheeres takes us from the Midwest to a place beyond imagining.
