Synopsis: This semi-autobiographical novel is set in a small, rural
Alabama community during the height of World War II. At that time,
the modern Civil Rights Movement was scarcely in its infancy. The
main characters are two ten-year-old sons of sharecroppers--one
black and one white. Amid the difficulties, deprivations, and
disadvantages resulting from living on the bottom rungs of the
economic ladder, they share a friendship that carries them through
tough times and enriches their lives with joy. A terrible sequence
of events threatens that friendship and rocks their world. Author
