- Description of Pictures: Monica Hesse, James Swanson -- Hesse's "The War Outside" is set in a WWII internment camp, where a German girl and a Japanese girl become secret friends. In Swanson's "Chasing King's Killer," James Earl Ray learns of Dr. Martin Luther King's plan to travel to a March in Memphis. He finds a boarding house near Dr. King's motel and sets up the location where he will commit a terrible crime.

Latest Title: The War Outside
Monica Hesse made her young adult fiction debut with “Girl in the Blue Coat,” which was named an Entertainment Weekly Best Book of 2016 and won the Edgar Award for mystery writing. In 2017, she further established her writing career with “American Fire,” published for the adult non-fiction audience. In a rave review, The New York Times said Hesse “has talent to burn.” With “The War Outside,” a timely and important look into a terrible part of America’s past, Hesse uses her expert research acumen to prove she is on the literary scene to stay.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
