Wasn't sure where this book was going when I first picked it up after reading some other reviews but I have to say ... wow!Really makes you think back to how things were in the late 60's and thru the 70's... the racial tension, the staying together for face value and makes you think back to all those "seemingly happy" marriages that you knew... many, many time through this book I just wanted to scream "Tell her where to go!!!" or "Why would anyone put up with that?"  and have to remember the time... overall really liked the book and it was more of a coming of age or rather a story coming into his true self and at the same time avenging all the wrongs done to not only his own mother but to many in the town itself!
