| Summary: | "Wounds and prejudices stemming from the Civil War and the Great Depression run deep in the Ozark hill country. These frailties, like the scab of a putrid wound, will from time to time reopen and ooze pus. In the tumultuous year of 1968, a farmer stumbles onto the gruesome scene of a hate crime: the lynching of a young gay man whose mangled body has been left hanging from a tree. Clues abound, but the investigation withers and dies. Thirty-eight years later, Aubrey Hatfield and the citizens of Campbell County get a second chance to grapple with man's greatest vice - the refusal to see wrong and do something about it. 'Gay Panic in the Ozarks' is a disturbing story of the culture war that society is waging on itself."--Page 4 of cover. |
