Ron Argo has written a powerful, persuasive and riveting story of the transformation of Civil Rights during the 60s in Alabama. History has shown this to be a dramatic time in our American past, and Argo turns this into quite an epic tale; he does not miss the nuances of individual, social and political history in the narrative of this important story. The story of Sonny Poe might not be legendary, but through his eyes and Ron Argo’s dialog, it is certainly a story well worth reading.At times hard and unforgiving, the story nevertheless provides us a window into which we can look into our past and thank dearly that America has changed dramatically since then. The novel is shocking yet rewarding, and certainly a read I thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to reading more from Ron Argo..
