Shot through with poignancy. --\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Over a decade after its first publication, \u003ci\u003eJesus Land\u003c\/i\u003e remains deeply resonant with readers. Now with a new preface by the author, this \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672291041553,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781582433387.jpg?v=1781519034","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-jesus-land-by-julia-scheeres","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
