Title: Intimate study of post WWII changes in the rural South
Review: There have been many books written about this painful period in recent American History, but Terry Kay shines in his intimate portrayal of the birth pangs of racial equilibrium viewed through various characters of a small southern town. Most notable are two young boys, one white, one black; both sharing the same birth date, childhood friendships and the winds of change. This is also a murder mystery, and though the book revolves around the murders, that is secondary to the theme of change that the author weaves into this first rate novel.
