Tulsa Burning

The day he buried his pa, Nobe Chase lost everything -his father, his home, and his dog, Rex. Worst of all, he had to move into town to live with Sheriff Leonard-dog killer, wife stealer, and secret law-breaker of all sorts. That day, Nobe found a new purpose for his life - revenge. Hate takes over his life, burning inside him out of control. Nobe learns how dangerous hate can be when it is unleashed in a fury of fire and Gunpowder during a race riot in nearby Tulsa. When the violence spills into his hometown of Wekiwa, Nobe must decide what kind of man he is going to become - one driven by vengeance or one driven by courage. Based on true events in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during May of 1921, this is a novel about a young man who must wrestle with his past and find the strength to pull free from the poisonous grip of hatred and abuse.
