YOU KIN DO IT, CHILE, (You Can Do It, Child) tells of an unusual and poignant relationship between a black, horse trainer in his eighties and a young blond girl growing up on a farm in Tennessee.

At a period in history, still affected by resentments and injustices of the Civil War, Maxie and Uncle Sandy cement a bond of friendship that transcends all opinions and established mores of the time. Uncle Sandy, born a slave, rose above his status by educating himself, becoming a world acclaimed Arabian horse trainer and passing on a wisdom and honor to the small child who loved and admired him, which enabled her to succeed in subsequent traumas of adult life. Maxwell's observations and first hand experiences among both aristocrats and farmers, gleaned from ancestors who predated the Civil War, gives credence and color to this touching novel of homecoming.
