In My Father's House by Ann Rinaldi
A compelling novel of a man brought to reckon with his buried past. In St. Adrienne, a small black community in Louisiana, Reverend Phillip Martin--a respected minister and civil rights leader--comes face to face with the sins of his youth in the person of Robert X, a young, unkempt stranger who arrives in town for a mysterious meeting with the Reverend. In the confrontation between the two, the young man's secret burden explodes into the open, and Phillip Martin begins a long-neglected journey into his youth to discover how destructive his former life was, for himself and for those around him. .on every page there's an authentic moment, or a dead-right knot of conversation, or a truer-than-true turn of phrase.--Kirkus ReviewsANN RINALDI is an award-winning novelist who is noted for brilliantly bringing history to life in her books. Rinaldi, a twenty-one-year self-made writer and newspaper columnist, credits her passion in history to her son, who persuaded her to participate in historical reenactments all over the East Coast.
