(3) YA Buddy Bush's family and community unite in response to his racially motivated confrontation with Jim Crow justice and the Klan. Twelve-year-old Pattie Mae relates this fictionalized account of actual events with a conversational intimacy and colorful vernacular that transports the reader to 1940s rural North Carolina. Photos of the characters' real-life counterparts accompany an author's note.
