An authentic page-turning novel whose main character is a white boy
spawned by the rural bi-racial society of south Mississippi during
the turbulent mid-twentieth century. We meet him in 1948 when he is
eleven years old and already deeply committed within the separate
white and black subcultures. Torn between the two, he advances
through a series of life-altering experiences. He goes off to
college and returns after a twenty-year exile to find the place of
his roots changed beyond recognition and with that the destruction
of his dreams and his faith in a distant impersonal government.
Challenge and adventure, triumph and tragedy, race and violence,
promise and betrayal, love and heartbreak - the book has it all. A
rich source of social commentary, history, and geography for anyone
who loves a good story. From beginning to end, a thrilling
adventure by the award-winning author who was there.
