Witness

Witness took a little bit for me to get into, but once I did, I was hooked.  I think that listening to a book with twelve different POVs is hard.  For me anyway, but once I figured out the voices, the story came alive.  Karen Hesse wrote two books that I didn't really like at all, but I liked them well enough not to give up this one and I am so glad that I did.  This is an historical fiction one, set in 1923-24 in a small town in Vermont.  It details what happens to a group of folks when the Klan comes to town.  It is definitely a book that makes one very, very angry.  And angrier still that there is still so much racism and hate today.  The audio book has a great interview with Karen Hesse at the end which is really great as well.
