From the book jacket:

"From bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edward Humes comes a dramatic story of faith, science and courage unlike any since the famous Scopes Monkey trial. Monkey Girl takes you behind the scenes of the recent war on evolution in Dover, PA, when the town's school board decision to confront the controversy head-on- thrust its students, then the entire community onto the front lines of America's culture wars. Told from the perspectives of all sides of the battle, it is a riveting true story about an epic court case on the teaching of 'intelligent design,' and what happens when science and religion collide."
