★ “Henson's debut novel sheds a light on white supremacy and other cloaked forms of racism . . . A timely and informative read.” —Kirkus, starred review

“A truly revealing and all-too-relevant examination of the psychological underpinnings of a complicated, young former neo-Nazi desperate to change his life for the better.” —Booklist

“Henson is unflinching in her portrayal of the racism and bigotry that is still pervasive in our society. . . . As the novel approached an impending and climactic confrontation, I wanted desperately to stop reading and yet could not put the book down. In my mind, that is as high praise as I can give.” —The Herald (Washington)
