The book offers a historic view of rural life in the South through the eyes of young adults. Asa emerges at seventeen a handsome young man, a pariah still because of the company his family keeps. Secrets soon collide with the force of a tornado, threatening to tear families apart and send the innocent to prison — or worse. We can’t wait to hear how the story unfolds.
