This Is How It Begins by Joan Dempsey

4.0

Dempsey tells a complex tale of prejudice and plots, memories and mistakes. Through her complex and engaging characters, she manages to address both current themes and historical events with their contemporary ramifications. Dempsey reminds us that we can never be complacent about the trampling of rights, though the cost of defending ourselves and others can be high, and we may make mistakes along the way.
