Sanctified
In the shadowed hills of the southern Appalachians, justice wears a heavy robe.
Judge Jonathan Steadings has spent decades holding the fragile peace between Cherokee, Black, and white communities on his mountain. But when a brutal act shatters that peace-a young Black musician attacked by a powerful white figure-the law offers no remedy, and the people cry out for justice that the courts cannot deliver.
Educated at Harvard but rooted in the South, Steadings walks a tightrope between tradition and progress, justice and legality, loyalty and truth. As tensions threaten to ignite into open conflict, the judge must confront a devastating question:
What does a man of the law do when the law isn't enough?
A gripping tale of conscience, community, and the deep fault lines of race and power in Appalachia.
