Description
Set in the racially charged American South of 1941, this powerful coming-of-age novel follows a young Black man whose desperate response to brutal harassment puts him on the run. As he seeks help from Cassie Logan and attempts to reach safety, the journey exposes the dangers, loyalties, and moral choices shaped by segregation and violence. Through vivid storytelling and richly drawn characters, the novel explores friendship, courage, injustice, and the struggle to claim dignity in a world determined to deny it.
