Publisher Description: Ross Crass is an unashamed bigot. The child of two white supremacists, he grew up believing in his superiority over other races and hating anyone who appeared different. After the murder of his father, his bigotry enveloped him and continued to corrupt him. It would take a miracle for Ross to change his views. Luckily, a miracle is just what he got. It doesn't seem like a miracle at first. Ross loses everything he holds dear-his literary agency, his life savings, and even his autonomy-when an argument spins out of control, and he is shot in the back. Depressed and embittered, he moves into a housing project in Hartford, Connecticut. There, he meets a black woman named Maggie Turner and her grandson, Tracie Walker. Ross originally wants nothing to do with either of them, but their patience and kindness begin opening his heart to the possibility of redemption and God's grace in his life. This inspirational novel addresses the toxicity of racial tensions and the nature of hate. As Ross grows closer and closer with Maggie and Tracie, he will begin to believe in miracles after all. |
