description: Raising her family in the turbulent 60s in a segregated rural Alabama town Katie Parker understood the ugliness of racism and Jim Crow all too well. Her farm which she shared with her activist husband became her oasis her retreat. Here she had control. Here she could witness Gods handiwork in the beauty of the land. Here she was at peace. But it was a peace soon to be shattered. After a devastating and horrible event Katie moves with three of her four children to a relatives house in a majority-white suburb of Los Angeles. Settling in she was confident she had escaped the horrors of her hometown. But the memory of that horrible event and the animosity and hatred it stirred in her were not easily shaken. Though she escaped a segregated Southern town racism and intolerance were not easily left behind. Oddly enough it was her granddaughters addiction to drugs that led Katie on a path causing her to confront her fears and prejudices and face head-on the past that she thought she had left behind. Katies journey will introduce this generation to the ugly racism of the sixties and confront the racial realities that exist in the church today. The Color of Redemption will show readers how to break down these walls that separate Christians and deal with racial prejudice not from a civil rights perspective but a Christian world view dictated by the Bible.
