Description

In August of 1959, young Benjamin Rome's hometown in rural Virginia becomes divided over an order to desegregate its public schools. When events lead to an explosive climax, Ben finds himself facing choices beyond his years.

First Sentence

THE OLD COLORED WOMAN in the woods stopped speaking for such a long time, I thought maybe she'd had a stroke and died, in which case I would have got a good deal more from today's spying session than I'd wanted.
