Publisher Description:
This is a story about Union County, North Carolina, during the 1930s, at the depths of the Great Depression. It is also about the ugliness of men who took advantage of Negro people and treated them as chattel. It is a story about the wonderful growing love between Sarah Lynn and Clyde, who were coming of age at the time of this story. It is a story about a conjurer woman, Sudie, who set out to right a grievous wrong perpetrated by Leonard, a young man without a moral compass, who delighted in hurting people, but turned out to be a coward in the end. It is a story of the strong sense of faith in God that was prevalent at that time in small town America, and especially strong in Union County. It is about Orphey a strong and good man who, with the help of other good people, set out to right wrongs perpetrated on downtrodden people of that era. It is a snapshot of time during the 1930s in rural Union County written by a man whose telling reflects those times and the people he knew who were very similar to those depicted in this story.
