Synopsis

An ophaned white boy, John, and Tuway, an eccentric black man with a double life, form an unlikely friendship in the segragated Alabama of the 1950s. In a bid to change their lives - and help others - Tuway and John take on the threats and challenges that foreshadow the 1960s Civil Rights upheaval.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

John McMillan was only eight years old when his mother died and he was ripped, without warning, from his sheltered world of books and gentility. Now on his aunt's run-down tenant farm in southern Alabama, abused by his alcoholic uncle, and completely bereft, John longs for escape--his only hope for survival. He's about to get his wish in a way no one could ever predict....A twist of fate will bring John to the Bend, a black settlement that has become a refuge for outcasts, where he'll join Tuway, a black man who helps others leave the South and find a new life in Chicago. But neither will be ready for the brutal confrontation about to change their lives, challenge the prejudice of an era, inspire the courage of a people, and most of all, touchingly reveal the secrets of one boy's heart.
