1910. The piney woods of south Georgia. Adam Atwell, a black man,
struggles to save the widow Lucy Hightower and her family from
financial ruin. As the family's overseer, his business partnership
pits him agains bankers and speculators out to steal the Hightower
land. Adam faces the specter of Jim Crow, even murder, in his quest
to save Lucy's legacy to her children. In turn, she wrestles with
her desire to return to her family and an old sweetheart in
Charleston or remain in the Georgia hinterlands raising her three
children alone. Brainard Cheney (1900-1989) published four novels
in his lifetime, all set in the south Georgia land of his youth. He
later attended VAncerbilt in Nashville and became part of the 1920s
and 1930s literary scene, a friend of Robert Penn Warren, Caroline
Gordon, Allen Tate and Flannery O'Connor. Many consider THIS IS
ADAM as his most fully-realized work.
