Description:
Mr. McMulty is a neighbor of Rass's family, a fellow sharecropper and one of young Rass's only friends. When the levee breaks and the resulting flood destroys Rass's family's home, the land's owner orders Mr. McMulty to vacate his home so that Rass's family can move in. Mr. McMulty is black; Rass and his family are white. Where is the justice in such a decision? Though devastated by the flood, Rass can't stand the thought of dislocating his friend. The truth is that race relations in this Missouri farmland are just as unstable as the levees: the Ku Klux Klan wants to humiliate Mr. McMulty even further. What can Rass do to save him? Author Berniece Rabe does an admirable job of exploring the roots of prejudice and cowardice--and bravery--in this engrossing novel.
