[Hawes is] a writer with the exceedingly rare ability to observe sympathetically both particular events and the horizon against which they take place without sentimentalizing her subjects. Hawes is so admirably steadfast in her commitment to bearing witness that one is compelled to consider the story she tells from every possible angle.The New York Times Book ReviewA deeply moving work of narrative nonfiction on the tragic shootings at the Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina from Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Jennifer Berry Hawes.On June 17, 2015, twelve members of the historically black Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, welcomed a young white man to their evening Bible study. He arrived with a pistol, 88 bullets, and hopes of starting a race war. Dylann Roofs massacre of nine innocents during their closing prayer horrified the nation. Two days later, some relatives of the dead stood at Roofs hearing and said, I forgive you. That grace offered the country a hopeful ending to an awful story. But for the survivors and victims families, the journey had just begun.In Grace Will Lead Us Home, Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Jennifer Berry Hawes provides a definitive account of the tragedys aftermath. With unprecedented access to the grieving families and other key figures, Hawes offers a nuanced and moving portrait of the events and emotions that emerged in the massacres wake.The two adult survivors of the shooting begin to make sense of their lives again. Rifts form between some of the victims families and the church. A group of relatives fights to end gun violence, capturing the attention of President Obama. And a city in the Deep South must confront its racist past. This is the story of how, beyond the headlines, a community of people begins to heal.An unforgettable and deeply human portrait of grief, faith, and forgiveness, Grace Will Lead Us Home is destined to be a classic in the finest tradition of journalism.
