"A Heart Divided" by Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld

The book, "A Heart Divided", is about a young playwright, Kate, living in New York whose family decides to move to a town near Nashville. The town, Redford, still waves the confederate flag proudly and their school football team is called the Rebels. Soon, Kate meets Jackson Redford III, the descendant of the town's father. When there is a petition to replace the school's confederate flag, Kate and Jack must decide what side of the petition they are going to be on; being called a racist and going against the flag or staying loyal to the town and the flag.

I liked this book because it was an interesting situation that Kate and Jack got themselves into. I also liked how the book had to deal with history.
