White Pilgrim from Sumac Ridge

Description

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.
