Description
In a racially charged Alabama summer, young Peejoe is forced to confront the injustices and contradictions of the adult world as he comes of age in a divided community. At the same time, his Aunt Lucille pursues an unexpected escape from small-town life and the constraints of respectability through a chance at television fame. Witty, poignant, and sharply observant, the novel blends coming-of-age drama with Southern satire while exploring race, family, ambition, and the longing for freedom.
