Widely hailed for its historical resonance, Daniel Black's The Sacred Place is a powerful examination of racial tensions in 1955 Mississippi.

Visiting from Chicago, 14-year-old Clement is unfamiliar with the social customs of the tiny town of Money. Striding into a general store, he offends the white store clerk by not placing his nickel in her hand. This seemingly innocuous act leads to a horrific murder and a conflict drawn along racial lines.

Daniel Black is one of my favorite authors on the planet, and to couple his story with Kevin R. Free's unmatched narration made for one hell of an enjoyable listen. The story and performance brought me to tears; definitely a must-listen for everyone!

The writing and performance were stellar. The effort to have each character’s voice match the description helped me to love and feel like I could’ve reached out and hugged them. The overall theme hurt my soul but the individual stories was food for my soul.

Sacred place is a release

Even though this story took place in the 50's it's very sad to know that things are slightly different but very much still the same today 😑.

My god! I was hooked from the sample! I was beyond captivated by this story. I just could not wrap my mind on how things escalated. The past and the south is so much to swallow but D.B.’s way of storytelling made it digestible enough to keep going. Five stars!

I finished it too fast!

there was so much that I learned. about the struggle and how it changed the face of history. but there was one character that I hated. and there was no reason for the portrayal of insanity that followed. it made me sick to think that the best of us is portrayed as stupid crazy to the point of delusion.

I enjoyed this story and the history behind it. This reminds me of all the pain and sorrow that my ancestors had to endure.
