From a lawyer who got his real-life client off death row comes a thriller about an attorney who did not.

"Riveting . . . a stirring story" (Kirkus Reviews) of a tortured man's quest to right the scales of justice--by assassinating KKK murderers.

After witnessing his client's death in the gas chamber, attorney Gideon Roth is shattered. His career, marriage and life collapse as he is overcome with guilt and despair. But soon he finds new purpose in life: he will drive to Mississippi to revisit the scenes of his youth--and to slay the Klavern members who got away with murdering civil rights workers 30 years earlier.

This thriller recounts the confrontations that beset Gideon along his journey for vigilante justice, and the challenge a Mississippi police chief faces as he seeks to intercept a would-be assassin without knowing his name, age, race, appearance or even the sound of his voice.

"A heart-pounding, soul-wrenching narrative, in which the evils of a bygone era remain invisibly amongst us--shadows of past suffering, fostering the cruelest tragedies of today."

- Federal judge and civil rights pioneer Thelton Henderson

John Grisham meets Richard Wright: During the road trip to Mississippi, flashbacks unfold the personal histories that set Gideon on his path of vengeance:

  • Gideon's days as a young civil rights worker, and his journey from idealistic youth to cynical Silicon Valley lawyer
  • The killer's family saga, a tale of racial oppression and resistance, and the horrors of a childhood that turned an innocent child into a brutal killer
  • The doomed struggle to overcome a legal system skewed toward death, and Gideon's fraught relationship with his condemned African American client.

"A powerful book Mississippi Reckoning takes you on a trip that will leave you reeling--and thinking."

- Mike Farrell, star of M*A*S*H

Thoughtful Gift Basket with a Warm Presentation
Color: sunflower
This gift basket makes a very nice first impression because it feels warm, cheerful, and clearly designed to lift someone’s mood. The sunflower theme gives it a bright and encouraging feel, which works especially well for a care package, birthday gift, or thinking-of-you present. I like that it looks coordinated rather than random, since baskets like this can sometimes feel like a collection of unrelated filler items. This one has a more intentional presentation, which makes it feel more thoughtful, which is especially important if you're on a time crunch or for whatever reason are unable to individually assemble a basket yourself. What stands out most is that it works well for several different situations. It could fit a birthday, a get well gift, a sympathy gesture, or simply something supportive for a friend or family member going through a hard time. That flexibility makes it useful when I want to send something comforting without overcomplicating the choice. The presentation matters a lot with a gift basket, and this one has the kind of appearance that already feels ready to give without needing extra work. Overall, this is the kind of gift that feels more about comfort and presentation than just the individual items inside. It gives a kind, supportive impression and looks nice enough to make someone feel remembered. For a self-care themed gift basket, it does a good job of feeling sweet, uplifting, and appropriate for a wide range of occasions.

Perfect Gift for Any Occasion
Color: sunflower
I recently purchased the Self Care Gifts for Women Birthday Gift Basket, and I could not be happier with my decision! The packaging alone was cheerful and inviting, almost like a little box of sunshine. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into curating this basket, especially with the lovely sunflower theme that instantly brightens your day. Inside, I found a wonderful assortment of spa goodies—think soothing bath bombs, delightful candles, and soft skincare products. Each item feels like a warm hug, perfect for someone who needs a little pampering or encouragement, whether it’s for a birthday, a "get well soon" gesture, or just to remind a friend you’re thinking of them. I gifted this to my best friend who was going through a tough time, and she absolutely adored it. It put a smile on her face and truly lifted her spirits. The quality of the items is impressive; they feel luxurious and well-made. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, heartfelt gift that says “you matter” without being overly flashy, this gift basket hits the mark. It’s perfect for anyone who could use a moment of self-care, and I would definitely recommend it!
