Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to a young black boy in Depression stricken North Carolina when he learns he is the direct descendant of a Confederate legend? Follow David Jonathan Sawyer on a fabulous journey down the Rose Hill Road, past sunny fields white with cotton, into his favorite swamp, where he learns his family's dark and tragic secret. A boy who would rather play with June bugs and get into mischief must confront the terrifying past ¿ and the ominous present, where segregation is enforced by the same Klansmen who would dig his father a well, or sell him a cow. To venture from the swamp with his burden is to see the world in a different light. Each challenge, insult, or danger adds to his strength and wisdom until, like his famous ancestor, he can prevail against impossible odds. Along the way he finds a simple truth: that all men should be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. A witty, warm, and wonderful book.
