Overview

A hot-tempered 17-year-old girl volunteers in 1961 to join nonviolent demonstrators challenging racial segregation in the deep South. In a cramped cell in the maximum security unit of Mississippi State Prison the notorious Parchman Farm Jeri Turner squats on the concrete floor and leans into the vent hung above the toilet. The voice rumbling through the vent rhapsodizes about feasts of strawberries and chocolate cake while around him inmates are starving. When she's released, Jeri risks her own life and the life of someone she loves to uncover the truth about the mysterious prisoner. That truth gives her the answer to a question flung at her by her fellow volunteers, one that seared her conscience: Is it right to rouse an evil giant when you have no hope of slaying him?
