This is an emotional read set it the Deep South. During the 1950 - 1960 time period. Started out very strong slows in the middle to the point I considered it a DNF, but then there is a catastrophic event and the story took off from there. Anna Jean Mayhew also has another very good book, same time period and similar setting but much better than this one called. The Dry Grass Of August highly recommend that one.
This book is very sad in the fact there is so much racism happening during this time. It prevents a love story from being able to become something beautiful and a child from knowing one of their parents.
