This Child of Mine by K. B. Hartwell

The years of 1868-1968 is quietly known in history as the "100 Years of Terror" in the United States. Many innocent people of varied races, religions, and ethnicities died during this time. Three known lynchings occurred during this time in the southern county of Mercer in West Virginia. Even though the novel is a work of fiction, the tale chronicles the last recorded lynching.
