A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them

Reading the World Book Club

Book Group: Reading the World book group will take a bit of a break for the month of December…but never fear – the book chosen for January is a bit of a long read. It’s not a typical novel; it happens to be a slice of American and Indiana history – Timothy Eagan’s newest book, A Fever in the Heartland: The KKK’s Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them.  It happened in the 1920s, and if you live in Indiana, then you live in said “Heartland”. It’s not entirely a heart-warming story, but at the heart of the story sits a woman who will put her whole heart into saving the nation! (Sorry…too many hearts!)
