520    "In Grace Will Lead Us Home, Jennifer Berry Hawes breathes
       poetry into tragedy to bring to life the epic grief that 
       haunted a nation's moral imagination...If white supremacy 
       is ever to meet a death knell, this ringing endorsement of
       fallen yet redeemable humanity will echo loudly in our 
       hearts."-Michael Eric Dyson A deeply moving work of 
       narrative nonfiction on the tragic shootings at the Mother
       Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina. On June 
       17, 2015, twelve members of the historically black Emanuel
       AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina welcomed a young 
       white man to their evening Bible study. He arrived with a 
       pistol, 88 bullets, and hopes of starting a race war. 
       Dylann Roof's massacre of nine innocents during their 
       closing prayer horrified the nation. Two days later, some 
       relatives of the dead stood at Roof's hearing and said, "I
       forgive you." That grace offered the country a hopeful 
       ending to an awful story. But for the survivors and 
       victims' families, the journey had just begun. In Grace 
       Will Lead Us Home, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist 
       Jennifer Berry Hawes provides a definitive account of the 
       tragedy's aftermath. With unprecedented access to the 
       grieving families and other key figures, Hawes offers a 
       nuanced and moving portrait of the events and emotions 
       that emerged in the massacre's wake. The two adult 
       survivors of the shooting begin to make sense of their 
       lives again. Rifts form between some of the victims' 
       families and the church. A group of relatives fights to 
       end gun violence, capturing the attention of President 
       Obama. And a city in the Deep South must confront its 
       racist past. This is the story of how, beyond the 
       headlines, a community of people begins to heal. An 
       unforgettable and deeply human portrait of grief, faith, 
       and forgiveness, Grace Will Lead Us Home is destined to be
       a classic in the finest tradition of journalism. More 
       praise for Grace Will Lead Us Home: The great value of 
       this book is that it tells the stories of the survivors 
       and victims' families on their own terms, in all of their 
       humanity, while also showing us how Charleston's tortured 
       history of racism and gun violence came together on that 
       night in June."-Gabrielle Union
