Freddie Owens
Dear Reader,Few novels capture the 1950's Civil Rights Era from the perspective of a white child.
At nine, Orbie seems to live his life along a precipice. He is burdened with an overabundance of difficult choices which would be beyond the capacities of most boys his age — but Orbie is about to discover that he's no ordinary boy; that nothing is ever precisely what it seems. Prejudice is not innate. The dead aren't really dead. And those in power cannot be trusted.
