A book of American martyrs
(Audiobook CD)

Compact discs.

Performed by Neil Hellegers, Tavia Gilbert, Kirsten Potter, Donna Postel, and David Colacci.

[The author] tells the story of two very different and yet intimately linked American families. Luther Dunphy is an ardent Evangelical who envisions himself as acting out God's will when he assassinates an abortion provider in his small Ohio town while Augustus Voorhees, the idealistic doctor who is killed, leaves behind a wife and children scarred and embittered by grief. [The author] fully inhabits the perspectives of two interwoven families whose destinies are defined by their warring convictions and squarely-- but with great empathy-- confronts an intractable, abiding rift in American society. [This book] is a stunning, timely depiction of an issue hotly debated on a national stage but which makes itself felt most lastingly in communities torn apart by violence and hatred.
