Taking Care of Moses

(2) 4-6 Two women battle each other for custody of the baby left on the steps of the Foley, South Carolina, Rock of Ages Baptist Church. Only eleven-year-old Randall knows who put the baby there, and he must keep it secret in order to protect a friend. O'Connor deftly blends humor and poignancy in this subtle, boy's-eye-view of race relations and religion in a close-knit small town.
