Summary: Bigotry at its finest
Review: We have two teenage daughters who have a difficult time understanding bigotry and how pervasive it is. I had first heard "Daybreak" on NPR's "Radio Reader." I loved it then and bought it and read it several years ago. The other night at supper we were trying to explain bigotry and how it is handed down for generations. I thought of "Daybreak" and had them read it.

Being northerners we were sheilded from most racism. Neither my husband nor I remember racism or antisemitism as issues when we were growing up in small towns in Minnesota.

Besides being a wonderful story "Daybreak" sheds alot of light on small-town southern American towns and how attitudes are inherited.

"Daybreak" remains one of my favorite books.

Rating: 5 stars
