Seventeen-year-old Colin O'Hara arrives from Newark to begin college at Ole Miss in 1961. A sociological jolt beginning this Northern boy's maturation in the segregated South. But this is much more than a coming of age tale. Colin flees into the army to avoid love, only to face deadly war in Viet Nam. He's forced to confront long-hidden family secrets, and is steered into the Las Vegas gambling industry by a powerful man who's been manipulating him. There's also an intriguing romantic sub-plot-a man and woman struggling to reclaim love against all odds. Colin's unguarded first-person perspective allows readers to feel a part of the novel. Men will smile and empathize; while Colin's intimate storytelling affords women a rare glimpse into the normally shielded male psyche. Set during a fascinating period of U.S. history, MISSISSIPPI YANKEE is a sensually rich, life-living drama filled with historical perspective, suspense, plot twists, and fascinating characters.
