Summer of the Redeemers
Summer of the Redeemers | Carolyn Haines
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Along with the sweltering heat of the Mississippi pine barrens, the summer of 1963 brings intruders to Kali Oka Road: The Blood of the Redeemer churchers, members of a secretive religious sect, and Nadine Andrews, a single woman of marrying age more interested in her horses than starting a family. Both threaten the predictable sameness of this rural, tightly knit community. And both provide irresistible temptation for thirteen-year-old Bekkah Rich, who is willing to risk hell fire in her efforts to spy on the newcomers. But then her best friends baby sister disappears, surrounding Bekkah in a web of kidnapping and murder. Suddenly, summertime antics become deadly serious, and those who were once a curiosity are now tainted with evil.

Every once in a while a book comes along that keeps you up into the wee hours and then calls you out of sleep at 6am to finish it. Yeah, that was this book 💞

This was my February #retrorereads. This was the first book my then new friend and I bonded over back in the summer of 1994. I can see why I loved it then and I saw a lot of Mockingbird influences in this reread. This is a girl's coming of age in the south as well as her love of horses and her fascination of a religious group who moved into her street. It was also the year anniversary of my friend's death which made this read poignant.
