The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
In this award-winning African American restored classic set in the segregated South of the 1950s, Lorenz Graham weaves a riveting tale about a poor black teenager who dreams of becoming a doctor. His dream is all but shattered one terrible summer when his close-knit and hardworking family is swept into a maelstrom of racial prejudice and violence. Written with honesty and emotion, South Town cogently conveys the message that people are people, no matter what their color.
