Praise for Sarah Darer Littman

Some Kind of Hate

"Thoughtful, meticulous, and devastatingly revealing, Some Kind of Hate opens readers' eyes into how ordinary people--a neighbor, a classmate, a teammate, a friend--can become brainwashed and indoctrinated into the frightening and bigoted world of white supremacy. To stop hate, Sarah Darer Littman has written a critical, heart-wrenching, and hopeful book that not only shows how and why the seeds of hatred grow into a destructive force, but also the importance of owning one's actions, which allows for the possibility of redemption and forgiveness." --Liza Wiemer, author of the Sydney Taylor Notable Book The Assignment

"Littman's latest novel presents an unvarnished and eye-opening account of how a frustrated young athlete becomes radicalized into a hate group, while examining the causes and consequences of unchecked antisemitism. This is truly a story for our times--a raw and visceral exploration of how a single, traumatic event in a person's life can quickly turn him down the dark path toward extremism, and ultimately, redemption." --Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation LeagueSome Kind of Hate is not an easy read, but it's a necessary one that is unflinchingly realistic and brutal, and yet, somehow, hopeful. I wish for it to find its way to every library and classroom shelf, where it might help more than one reader realize that it's never too late to say no to hate and open our eyes and hearts to love." --Gae Polisner, author of The Memory of Things
