Ashes Fly Back - Paperback

Hank Lattimer, a young assistant pastor in a vibrant Georgia Presbyterian church, forges an unexpected friendship with Moses Awulu, an African graduate student studying in Atlanta. As the Christmas season approaches, Hank's church extends a warm invitation to a diverse group of international students but excludes Africans from eating in the church building, which Hank blindly approves. His world is thrown into turmoil as he grapples with the painful realization of his own personal discrimination. Moses severs his ties with Hank and the church and returns to Africa.

A year later, Hank is sent as a missionary to Moses's homeland. Once on African soil, he faces a daunting question: Can he mend the damage he unwittingly helped cause?

Ashes Fly Back, a poignant story of friendship and estrangement, explores the global repercussions of discrimination and the paths to racial justice.
