"""Abraham Lincoln might as well have said, 'With malice toward many with charity for few, ' as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the bloody Freedom Rides played out. Susan Thistlethwaite captures the dynamics in a gripping mystery set in mid-century America. Protagonists Alex and Gwen, in their respective efforts to effect change, learn chillingly familiar lessons. Their actions remind readers that structural change and real justice remain elusive while solidarity and advocacy remain our best hope."" --Mary E. Hunt, co-director, Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual (WATER) ""A gripping thriller, Malice is a heartwarming story of companionship set amidst two fascinating and often overlooked historical events. The doggedly determined characters embody aspirational qualities as they show us the preparation required to make real change. As a reader and as an activist, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and gained both insights and courage for the work ahead. A great read!"" --Michael Neuroth, acting director, United Church of Christ Office, Washington, DC ""In Malice, Susan Thistlethwaite highlights the ways that the agency and actions of ordinary women--the women who actually make the wheels of government run, who tell the stories about the uses and misuses of power, and who risk their lives to make change--connect with the big pictures of history. This fast-moving window on the past highlights, illuminates, and renders intelligible today's current hatreds that require the resistance from ordinary people today."" --Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, professor emerita of African American studies and sociology, Colby College"
