This was a re-read for me. I love the characters in this book and the humanity of all of them. They are flawed and they know it. Crusader takes place in Florida and examines issues of race, ethnicity, religon, hatred and renewal. Told through roberta Ritter, a 16 year old daughter of a murder victim.
More later. Back to reading before life interferes. 🙂
