The Cedar Tree - Ross Glover

On a Spring afternoon in 1949’s Laceola, Georgia Sport Kirk, a twelve-year-old boy, witnessed a driveby shooting motivated by racial hatred. He knows the attackers and finds himself embroiled in a conflict much larger and older than he is.

Sport with the help of his lifelong friend, Jack, must weather the shocking violence of white supremacy, the conflicting advice from family and friends, and the uncertainty of a skewed legal system as he tried to grow up.

His opportunity to become a self-respecting young man rides on his ability to stand in the face of hatred and do the right thing.
