Listen in as I interview Richard Doster, author of the new book, Safe At Home.

Safe At Home is the story of how a small town in the South in the 1950s grapples with having its minor league baseball team integrated. Not only did this book rekindle my love of baseball but it illuminated race relations in the pre-Civil Rights era in an authentic and compelling voice.

Richard and I discuss his inspiration for the book, how he dealt with writing about sensitive issues of race, and how sometimes ordinary people can change things.
