Negative Positive
Title: Cliches abound about the South, very outdated descriptions
Review: This book is so cliche-ridden that it takes away from the writing. It has a poor girl from a small southern town, a rape by good ol' boys, a rescuer in the form of a poor black man in overalls, poor girls with stringy hair, poor men with greasy hair, etc., etc., etc. I did eventually get interested in the story, but had to suffer through an outdated view of people in the South. Not one of Ms. Brown's better works.
