Meet Daniel Musgrove.
It is the early 1970's and Daniel's dad is uprooted from Indiana to Mississippi with his job. He's an ag chemical salesman. Daniel leaves a pretty vanilla world for the South in an age of change - desegregation, the end of the 60's, and the end of his childhood.
Disaster hits on the drive to his new home in Minor, Mississippi and from there the story is a whirlwind. His new best friend hold a secret together that is unimaginable. More secrets come out after a church drama troop trip to perform a blasphemous play about Jesus. His brother joins the military to get away from this new town when Vietnam is still going on. He falls in love with the prom queen who also happens to be black. His mother gets her fill after his father does the unthinkable after a shake up at his job.
Look I could go on and on about this book, its full of twists and turns. It was a good read and a read that I would suggest you check out if you like a story line that is constantly throwing some curve balls.
You won't believe the ending.
I hope this insane book review gets your interest peeked.
