After being released from prison after 20 years, Ishmael starts working as a gardener for a rich white man.  The man's young daughter befriends him and  shortly confides in him that she is being abused by her father.  Ishmael no longer has the hunger to kill, like he did prior to prison, but is faced with how to protect this innocent girl from the unspeakable.Smith does an excellent job of using a very disturbing subject to show how even the worst of mankind can have good in them. I read this novella from start to finish without putting it down, not once.  I look forward to adding Smith to my must read list.
