Judge Knott's nephew gets involved with two boys who vandalize a cemetery. Some black churches are burned down and similar writing as found in the cemetery is found on the church walls. She believes her nephew innocent and starts poking around to find out the truth.
There is still a lot of conflict between blacks and whites in this southern county and tension simmers. She doesn't want things to get out of hand and is trying to understand things from both perspectives. She is also concerned with the building of her new house and her relationship with her boyfriend who doesn't live very close to her town. She tries to befriend a deputy DA who has issues from.her past that have been brought back to the present.
Deals with some interesting racial issues along with how connected to each other some families are and how important family history can be to some.
