- Summary:
- 1961: Disorder and angst brew in Hammond, Alabama -- a town plagued with racial unrest and torn between lifelong loyalties and prejudices. As strife boils to the surface with mass demonstrations, riots, and ultimately bloodshed, Cobb's characters face an unthinkable struggle to find order and commonality among people they've known all their lives. More intimately, A Walk Through Fire is an intricate love story between a man and a woman separated by race and joined by an unquenchable longing to recreate the past, a time when truth was found within.
- Originally published in hardcover in 1992 by William Morrow & Company, and reprinted in 1993 by Avon, A Walk Through Fire ranks definitively among Cobb's masterworks.
