MONKEY GIRL

by Edward Humes

Subtitled Evolution, education, religion, and the battle for America’s Soul, this book takes you behind the scenes of the recent war on evolution in Dover, Pennsylvania, when the town’s school board decision to confront the controversy head-on thrust its students, and then the entire community, onto the front lines of America’s culture wars.  Told from all sides of the issue, it is the true story of an epic court case on the teaching of intelligent design and what happens when science and religion collide. Whatever your stand on the subject, you will find the reporter perspective of this book enlightening.  It is a great book for book groups or for families with teens to read together to spark discussion. - Antoinette Kuritz, Host of Writers Roundtable Radio Show
