Rising Road: A True Tale of Love, Race, and Religion in America
Davies, Sharon (John C. Elam / Vorys Sater Professor of Law, John C. Elam / Vorys Sater Professor of Law, Ohio State University)
In Birmingham, Alabama in 1921, a fiercely anti-Catholic Methodist minister named Edwin Stephenson shot and killed James Coyle, an Irish Catholic priest, in broad daylight on the rectory steps of his church. The author tells the story through a narrative of the romantic relationship between Ruth Stephenson and Pedro Gussman.
