Local author, Hal Evans will be in the house on 9/27 from 12-2! He has a couple of books in the shop, including Come Day in Night.
"When Sam White Jr., a white high school student, is asked to start playing drums at the Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church-a predominately Black church-on Sundays, tensions begin to heighten in a Texas town that refuses to acknowledge their place in the Civil Rights era. Sam begins to question the morality of his own family's ties to the Confederacy when his Black classmates reveal their family histories. Sam's father takes him to a KKK rally to set his son straight, an act that does nothing to change Sam's stance. He then begins to speak out against the strong racial dogma apparent in his town, spurring on several attacks on himself and his friends. Meanwhile, Sam's mother remains locked in a mental asylum for reasons he does not know. Family relationships are tried, and new friendships unfold in this coming-of-age story about racial tension and doing what is right during hardship and iniquity."
