“This extraordinary true story narrated by silky-smooth voiced Dion Graham follows the conversion of a former Ku Klux Klansman from an overt racist to a friend by a brave African–American preacher in the segregated South. Graham shines as he portrays Michael Burden with a hint of sadness and anger in his voice. Reverend David Kennedy, as depicted by Graham, shows the grace and faith of a believer who confronts hatred and overcomes it with love. Graham slows his pace to grip the listener emotionally while taking a warm and loving tone as the man of faith ministers to his fractured community and to a lost and broken man.” — AudioFile

“A crucial story for these times of escalated racial division and cultural strife, Burden uses cinematic storytelling to compel us to take a good, hard look at who we are and who we can be. Ultimately, it is a story that shows us love really can conquer all and leaves us with a profound sense of hope for the future.“
