About the book
The Day the Klan Came to Town is a fictionalised retelling of the 1923 Carnegie Klan riot, focusing on a Sicilian immigrant, Primo Salerno. He is not a leader; he's a man with a troubled past. He was pulled from the sulfur mines of Sicily as a teen to fight in the First World War. Afterward, he became the focus of a local fascist and was forced to emigrate to the United States. He doesn't want to fight but feels that he may have no choice. The entire town needs him - and indeed everybody - to make a stand.
