From the author of The Change, comes a novel about book banning and those brave enough to stand up against this censorship.
ITS TIME TO RISE UP
In Troy, Georgia, local woman Lula Dean has campaigned to cleanse the towns reading habits. All the disgusting, pornographic and downright un-American books have been removed from public spaces. Now, the townspeople are only allowed to read appropriate books from Lulas personal lending library.
But a small group refuse to be told what they can and cannot read and, unbeknownst to Lula, her personal collection is slowly restocked with banned books: literary classics, gay romances, Black history, spell books, and more.
One by one, each person who borrows the books from Lulas library find their lives changed in unexpected ways. And as they begin to reveal their new selves, its clear that a showdown is fast approaching one that will change the town of Troy forever
