Brother to a Dragonfly by Will D Campbell
The author relates two stories: his youth in rural Mississippi and devotion to his brother whose life ended in seeming tragedy, and his ordination at age 17 and gradual realization that civil rights for blacks, women, and gays were an essential part of a ministry that has not yet ended.
