Publisher Summary

Jefferson is an innocent and unwitting party to a deadly liquor store shoot-out in the 1940s. As the only survivor, he is tried and convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Grant Wiggins, a university-trained teacher at the plantation school, is persuaded to visit Jefferson in his cell. Wiggins is torn between staying in his native Cajun community or moving on. The 2 men gradually form a bond as they jointly discover the simple heroism of resisting - and denying - the expected.

Review by Jeanette from Chico, CA | 5/16/2011

When I read the review for this book, it was compared to To Kill a Mockingbird. In my opinion, it doesn't even come close. It was just OK.

I found myself so engrossed in these characters while my heart ached for them at the same time. A great read!
