Description: A one-man battle for dignity... for love... but mostly for manhood...
Duff Anderson works hard on a railroad gang, makes good money ($80 a week), and has learned to get along.
But he wants more. He wants to be a man down South where, at best, he's called boy. And he'll settle for nothing less.
This is the unforgettable story of Duff Anderson's world and the people in it: his father, a hopeless alcoholic; Josie, the well-educated girl who loves him; Josie's minister father, an over-cautious Uncle Tom; and of Duff himself, who wages his own personal battle as he seeks to become nothing less than a man...
Notes: Novelization of the Michael Roemer film based on a screenplay by Roemer and Robert Young.
