(3) YA David, a white doctor's son, lives in Tennessee during the early 1950s. He shares a friendship as deep as brotherhood with African American Malcolm. David relates his painfully vivid memories, including the depth of his father's love and the unlimited cruelty of his racism. The novel's authentic and explicit language adds to its powerful portrait of a time and place.
