Description
A seventeen-year-old boy, Tiger, risks his life and ventures to the other side that divides black and white. Maybelle, pubescent and fair, tornadoes into his life; both throw caution aside and surrender blindly to a forbidden love that the South has fought for years in an effort to keep whites separate and untainted. The two meeting forces others to drag their murky past forward, unearthing demons they've tried arduously to keep buried, progressively changing each one's life forever.... Dirty South is a novel based upon the rigid south in the 1950s: a murderous time when one was expected to know his place. This raw read is an immediate pull, giving no time to exhale, leaving one to wonder will the two lovers change the hearts and minds of those who reside in rural Mississippi, or will their unorthodox connection bring tragic results?
