Synopsis
A WHITE PASTOR. AN ALL-BLACK CHURCH.
A WHITE TOWN THAT EXPECTS HIM TO STAY QUIET.
In the Bootheel of Missouri, race is not debated. It's enforced.
A young white minister accepts his first pulpit, expecting a quiet ministry. Instead, he steps into the Sea of Galilee AME Church: a congregation that is entirely Black and fiercely independent.
The minister's nemesis is Miss Eddie Mae Freeman, the choir director who runs the show at the Sea of Galilee. He wants quiet order and dignity; she wants loud Amens and Hallelujahs.
Tiny, a clarinet-playing bouncer, helps arrange a shaky truce between the two.
Then Rose enters the pastor's home.
She's Young. Pregnant. Alone.
The pastor's wife takes her in, and a private act of compassion becomes a line that shouldn't have been crossed. Now faith moves from the pulpit to the kitchen table. People start talking.
As the pastor pushes for basic fairness for his congregation, he runs headlong into the white establishment: a county judge who expects Blacks to vote for him, a society that expects Blacks to stay in their place. Circumstances sermons alone can't fix.
The pastor is put to the ultimate test.
THE WHITE TOWN IS WATCHING.
THE BLACK CHURCH IS WATCHING.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In the early 1950s, a young white minister and his wife arrive in Missouri's Bootheel, a flat, sweltering land of cotton, poverty and racial segregation. Fresh from seminary and eager to serve, the minister accepts a call to be the pastor of what, unbeknownst to him, is an all-black church. The minister and his wife quickly discover they are strangers in a strange land, regarded as curiosities by their black parishioners and as threats by the white establishment that rules the Bootheel. With local elections looming, the minister and his wife help organize a grassroots effort to unseat a powerful, bigoted county judge. What begins as a hopeful campaign quickly spirals into intimidation, reprisals and rising racial violence. When that violence reaches his own doorstep, the minister faces an impossible choice: protect his young family or stand with the parishioners who have come to trust him. Decades later, the couple's son - who was a fetus in the womb and a newborn infant when his parents were in the Bootheel - pieces together the story through the memories of others, the fragments of family history and the imaginative work of filling in what was never spoken. His search becomes its own reckoning, revealing how the past shapes our identity, our communities and what we pass on to future generations. Rooted in the charged history of a region where the land is both the setting and a character in the story, The Bootheel is a testament to the power of place, faith, memory, imagination and courage. Readers of Paulette Jiles, Elizabeth Strout, Marilynne Robinson, Jayne Anne Phillips and Ivan Doig will find much to savor in this debut novel. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798315151364
