The Sum of His Worth is set in 1960’s Alabama in the Jim Crow era.  Savagery and racism was rampant in the south.  A teenager in the small town, Sonny Poe goes against the grain and, along with a progressive doctor, helps African Americans face their oppressors.  Enduring backlash and physical beatings, both Doctor Joe and Sonny stay the course.Argo’s novel is a riveting story that details a particularly ugly chapter in our nation’s history.  The images are graphic and some of the passages will chill you to the bone.  I give the book 5 stars and highly recommend!
