About this Book
Raising her family in the turbulent ‘60s in a segregated rural Alabama town, Katie Parker understood the ugliness of racism and Jim Crow all too well. Her farm, which she shared with her activist husband, became her oasis, her retreat. Here, she had control. Here, she could witness God’s handiwork in the beauty of the land. Here, she was at peace.
But it was a peace soon to be shattered.
After a devastating and horrible event, Katie moves with three of her four children to a relative’s house in a majority-white suburb of Los Angeles. Settling in, she was confident she had escaped the horrors of her hometown. But the memory of that horrible event, and the animosity and hatred it stirred in her, were not easily shaken. Though she escaped a segregated Southern town, racism and intolerance were not easily left behind. Oddly enough, it was her granddaughter’s addiction to drugs that led Katie on a path causing her to confront her fears and prejudices and face head-on the past that she thought she had left behind.
Katie’s journey will introduce this generation to the ugly racism of the sixties and confront the racial realities that exist in the church today. The Color of Redemption will show readers how to break down these walls that separate Christians and deal with racial prejudice, not from a civil rights perspective, but a Christian world view dictated by the Bible.
About the Author
Lynn Cornell was born in eastern Washington. After high school, she married and moved west to Tacoma, WA. In 1970 her husband died, leaving her with two daughters. She worked at Seafirst Bank in Seattle for over twenty years. Northwest Christian Writer’s yearly conferences, night classes, lessons online, and writer’s groups taught her good writing skills. She joined a writer’s group in 2009, after becoming twice widowed, and gained the confidence to write a sweet romance wrapped around the journey of walking through grief. Her prayer is that this book will remind us to show compassion and “weep with them that weep.” Romans 12:15 KJV
