The stunning true story of a murder that rocked the Mississippi Delta and forever shaped one author’s life and perception of home. “Mix together a bloody murder in a privileged white family, a false accusation against a Black man, a suspicious town, a sensational trial with colorful lawyers, and a punishment that didn’t fit the crime, and you have the best of southern gothic fiction. But the very best part is that the story is true.” —John Grisham In 1948, in the most stubbornly Dixiefied corner of the Jim Crow south, society matron Idella Thompson was viciously murdered in her own home: stabbed at least 150 times and left facedown in one of the bathrooms. Her daughter, Ruth Dickins, was the only other person in the house. She told authorities a Black man she didn’t recognize had fled the scene, but no evidence of the man's presence was uncovered. When Dickins herself was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, the community exploded. Petitions pleading for her release were drafted, signed, and circulated, and after only six years, the governor of Mississippi granted Ruth Dickins an indefinite suspension of her sentence and she was set free. In Deer Creek Drive, Beverly Lowry—who was ten at the time of the murder and lived mere miles from the Thompsons’ home—tells a story of white privilege that still has ramifications today, and reflects on the brutal crime, its aftermath, and the ways it clarified her own upbringing in Mississippi.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 This is the house where the crime occurred, with the door and the windows labeled. #2 The house where the crime occurred, with the door and the windows labeled, is still standing. #3 It was determined that Idella Stovall Long Thompson had been murdered on the day she was released from the hospital. The identity of the person who was eventually arrested, tried, convicted, and sent to Parchman, Mississippi’s notorious state prison for life is something Leland’s residents want to keep under wraps. #4 White people in the 1950s thought that if you killed a black person, it was because you were financially or emotionally blackmailed into doing so.
