  • "In a coming-of-age story, [the author] recounts his childhood in the mill town of Piedmont, West Virginia, in the 1950s and 1960s and ushers readers into a now-vanished "colored" world of hellfire religion and licentious gossip, of lye-and-mashed-potato "processes," and of slyly stubborn resistance to the indignities of segregation. -Back cover."
