NO PLACE SAFE: A FAMILY MEMOIR
by Kim Reid
Dafina Books/Kensington Publishing

A thirteen-year-old girl's childhood is changed when her single mother, a cop in early eighties Atlanta, joins the Missing and Murdered Children investigation, a serial murder case that captured the nation's attention and resulted in the 1982 conviction of Wayne Williams.

"Reid maintains a lively sense of dialogue and characterization, and her memoir is an affecting tale of a girl's transformation in a climate of fear and pervasive, bleak Southern racism." -- Publishers Weekly

A "gripping memoir...part mystery thriller, part coming-of-age story, and part civil-rights history..."-- Booklist
