The True American

"The True American: Murder and Mercy in Texas" by Anand Girdhardas

Enjoyed reading this wonderful true-life story of a hate-crime victim and a murderer. The book opened my eyes to the poverty ridden underbelly of Texas that breeds hate and racism, the immigrant struggle and the strength of a loving and nurturing family environment.
Also it shows how love can conquer hate - even in the most unlikely situations.

This book makes a great selection for any book club, offering many topics for discussion. Who is a true American? What is the role of the American legal system? Is capital punishment the answer?  These are just a few of many questions that this book raises.

Enjoy this book and come to your own conclusions.
