Set primarily in 1983 in rural
Mississippi, this historical novel is
about a white 17-year old boy, Aeamon
Lee Mistral, and his African-American
friend, Jo-Nathan Markum, who are
brash, daring, and determined. They
grow up together in caring families
without the material symbols of a
class-conscious era. After a summer
of adventure in Memphis and a trip
down the Mississippi River on a riverboat,
their indomitable spirit causes
them to make bold decisions about
their future in an uncertain and
competitive world. They are encouraged
by an equally strong, and mysterious
woman who befriends them. To increase
their life chances, one attempts to make
the football team at the University of
Mississippi, and the other joins the
United States Marine Corps. Dealing
with both triumph and tragedy is their
ongoing challenge.
