Jesus Land, by Julia Scheeres

373.7293 SCH
Recommended by Irene

It’s the 80s in rural Indiana. In order to prove their open-mindedness and religious charitable nature, Julia Scheeres’ parents adopt a black boy her age to grow up with her. Her mother does more church attending than parenting; her father has an explosive temper. These kids can’t win. This memoir makes you laugh and then gasp in horror. A must read.
