When Lainie Stanton receives a call from a TV reporter inviting
her to be interviewed as Ohio’s first millennium baby she is flattered. Her Uncs
and father are not as thrilled. They see this as possible issue, especially if
the reporter’s intentions are not true. Their worst fears come true. During the taping of the interview Lainie is faced with
pictures of her great-grandmother’s hanging.
Seventy-five years before her great-grandmother was tried and convicted
of murder. Lainie blindsided by this
reporter claims she has proof of her grandmother’s innocent. Now she has only a
few weeks to make her lie a truth.
I loved the complexity of this book. The flipping back and
forth between historical documents and present time kept me reading. This is
definitely a book I will read again in the future. It was just that good. Definitely need a copy for my classroom
shelves.
