Memories That Bless and Burn

Childhood playmates in Mississippi in the 1950s grow up to find themselves on opposite sides of the racial conflagration during the early days of integration. Years later one of them, now a civil rights lawyer, returns to his boyhood home to confront unresolved issues from his complicated past. Memories That Bless and Burn is a poignant, heartrending story of loss, brokenness, guilt, and possible redemption that invites comparison with the political divisiveness of the present day.
