highly recommended

From the author of A Gathering of Old Men and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman comes a deep and compassionate novel. A young man who returns to 1940s Cajun country to teach visits a black youth on death row for a crime he didn't commit. Together they come to understand the heroism of resisting.

Mockingbird II

Strong, powerful read...

So strong and so powerful that you may almost put it down in the first chapter, the language used to described a black man, a fellow human, so strong and offensive that you just want to close the book, slam it to the ground, and have nothing to do with it.

BUT, almost immediately it grows into a strong, heartwarming and ultimately inspiring story.

In the end, it touches all avenues of human character and endeavor and moves us to the core of our being.

If you liked "To Kill A Mockingbird," you'll like this one, too. Count on it!!
