In a logical, clear-thinking, pre-911 world Boy Hernandez would be madly filling orders with his newly established women’s fashion line, (B)oy for Bergdorf-Goodman, Bloomingdale’s and other trend setting hotspots. But in this post-911 world of fast and at times, sloppy security work, Boy’s been thrown into Gitmo for allegedly assisting terrorists by funneling money through his clothing design studio. HA!
This novel is set in rural Mississippi post WW11 and pre Civil Rights Movement. This first time author allows the reader to experience a horrible racial incident through the eyes of each of the characters involved in it. It is compelling and gripping, and very well done. I give it 5 stars.
