"A soul-shaking chronicle of the 2015 Charleston massacre and its aftermath... Hawes is] a writer with the exceedingly rare ability to observe sympathetically both particular events and the horizon against which they take place without sentimentalizing her subjects. Hawes is so admirably steadfast in her commitment to bearing witness that one is compelled to consider the story she tells from every possible angle."
--The New York Times Book Review

A deeply moving work of narrative nonfiction on the tragic shootings at the Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jennifer Berry Hawes.

On June 17, 2015, twelve members of the historically black Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, welcomed a young white man to their evening Bible study. He arrived with a pistol, 88 bullets, and hopes of starting a race war. Dylann Roof's massacre of nine innocents during their closing prayer horrified the nation. Two days later, some relatives of the dead stood at Roof's hearing and said, "I forgive you." That grace offered the country a hopeful ending to an awful story. But for the survivors and victims' families, the journey had just begun.

In Grace Will Lead Us Home, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jennifer Berry Hawes provides a definitive account of the tragedy's aftermath. With unprecedented access to the grieving families and other key figures, Hawes offers a nuanced and moving portrait of the events and emotions that emerged in the massacre's wake.

The two adult survivors of the shooting begin to make sense of their lives again. Rifts form between some of the victims' families and the church. A group of relatives fights to end gun violence, capturing the attention of President Obama. And a city in the Deep South must confront its racist past. This is the story of how, beyond the headlines, a community of people begins to heal.

An unforgettable and deeply human portrait of grief, faith, and forgiveness, Grace Will Lead Us Home is destined to be a classic in the finest tradition of journalism.

Snuggled up writing this review!
I love the weight, and puff to this lovely comforter! It does keep me warm, and I have NOT noticed any noise.. I'm not sure what others were talking about about. I love how soft but well made this is made! I recommend this if you're looking to dip your toes into a down comforter ...or just want to feel luxurious!

Disappointed at first
When comforter arrived in vacuum sealed bag and didn't "fluff" after 24 hours on guest bed, I put it in dryer on refresh. Still not kind of loft I expected. I put a duvet on it and used it. What a great surprise. It is so warm and now very fluffy. For the Price point of this comforter, I highly recommend it.

Very nice but….
I love the softness, quality, and feel of the product (feels crispy?? Not sure that’s the right word but it’s good). The comforter has a tiny bit of noise but I wasn’t bothered. Now… I am a huge fan of fluffiness and this just quite didn’t get as fluffy as I had hoped (compared to my other one) so I deducted one star. I kept shaking and fluffing and finally I put in the dryer. First I put on low tumble as suggested and that did absolutely nothing. So then I put another time in the dryer at regular heat and that helped some. I suspect ( but don’t know yet) this could fill out with time. So I will keep the item and we’ll see if I buy another one. I love to put down comforters in my guest rooms so my guests feel like they’re in a hotel on vacation. It’s my treat to friends/family.

Very, very comfortable and perfect weight.
It is a wonderful comforter, takes about ten days for it to fluff back to normal after shipping. I have not slept so go in months.
