The eight stories and one short play that make up this book revolve around black and white families who once lived in the small town of Thornton, Tennessee. "The stories . . . are outwardly simple, but psychologically complex and powerful, and under the surface of events in the regions he knows best the author discloses the universal longings of the human heart."--New York Times.
