The Sum of His Worth is my second Ron Argo novel.  This novel takes place in Alabama in the 1960’s.  The story begins when our teenage hero is Sony witnesses a lynching by the KKK while hunting in the woods with a friend.  Witnessing this act of violence is a catalyst for his compassion for people of color.  He has no one to share this compassion with until he becomes friends with a local dentist who is doing his best combat the horrible acts of the KKK.  As a result both of their lives are endangered.In The Sum of His Worth Argo shows a very trying part of our history in an enlightening and thought provoking manner.  I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who is interested in our nation’s history, even the ugly aspects of it.
