“Tom DeWolf’s deeply personal story, of his own journey as well as his family’s, is required reading for anyone interested in reconciliation. Healing from our historic wounds, that continue to separate us, requires us to walk this road together.”
— Myrlie Evers-Williams, civil rights leader, NAACP chair emeritus, author of The Autobiography of Medgar Evers, Watch Me Fly and For Us The Living
