Set in the 1930s this novel follows the life of Amerigo Jones and his mom and dad, Viola and Rutherford.A close family with the challenges of racial prejudice, low paying jobs,due to the depression and living in a low income neighborhood riddled with crime. However, he is also surrounded by his loving parents , various relatives and neighbors that form a support group that allows him to grow and develops into a caring individual. Written in heavy black dialect we are introduced into a world that we as readers will probably find foreign and enlightening. I enjoyed and suffered with Amerigo in this very special read.
