About this audiobook
Square, North Carolina. When her uncle, Buddy Bush moves back home from Harlem, it seems like a breath of northern freedom has come with him. But since Buddy doesn't bow to white folks any more, soon he is jail, with the Klan at the cell door. Through Pattie Mae's innocent eyes, life in the deeply segregated South unfolds as she tells of the birth of a legend.
