Banyas’ vibrant skills as a storyteller, poet and documentarian are brought to bear on this haunting chronicle of a southern Ohio town in the sleepy Cold War days of middle class white prosperity at the dawn of the civil rights era...a detective story, a deep dive into memory, and an unwavering look at her hometown’s history, hidden in plain sight."
–Louise Steinman, author of The Crooked Mirror: A Memoir of Polish Jewish Reconciliation.

I am in Mrs. Mallory's class. She is reading us Charlotte's Web by EB White.. Mothers and children appear outside the window, carrying signs--MUST HILLSBORO LAG BEHIND THE SOUTH? -- then disappear, then appear the next day. OUR CHILDREN PLAY TOGETHER. WHY CAN'T THEY LEARN TOGETHER? Then disappear. Everyday. All year. Outside the window -- Susan
