In a bleak Mississippi farmhouse in 1918, Leona Pinson gives birth
to an illegitimate son whose father she refuses to name, but who
will, she is convinced, return from the war to rescue her from a
hardscrabble life with a distant mother, a dangerous brother, and a
dwarf aunt. When, instead, her lover returns with a wife in tow,
her dreams are shattered. As her brother's violence escalates and
her aunt flees, Leona must rely on the help of Luther Biggs, the
son of Leona's grandfather and one of his former slaves, to protect
her child. Told against the backdrop of the deprivation of World
War I, the tragedies of the influenza epidemic, and the burden of
generations of betrayal, That Pinson Girl unfolds in lyrical,
unflinching prose, engaging the timeless issues of racism, sexism,
and poverty.
