Reviews

Peter H. King "Columnist, "Los Angeles Times" Almost every American town harbors some brutal secret, but few produce writers like Mark Arax with both the courage and artistic talent needed to coax the story out and shape it into fine literature. Of course, Arax had an extra incentive: the footsteps he followed ran straight through his own family, straight through his own heart.
Wil Haygood "Author of "King Of The Cats: The Life And Times Of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr." A brave and chilling story...You won't forget the landscape rendered in this book, nor the ache of family lore. And certainly not Arax's beautiful and cleareyed writing that enables him to reclaim his father's lost honor.
