From the Back Cover
In an Alabama town in the early 1950s during the last polio summer before the Salk vaccine, ten-year-old Tabitha "Tab" Rutland is about to have the time of her life. Although movie theaters and pools have been closed to stem the epidemic, Tab, a tomboy with a passion for Roy Rogers, still seeks adventure with her best friend Maudie May, "the lightest brown colored person" she knows. Now as they meddle with the local bootlegger, Mr. Jake, row out on the Tennessee River to land the biggest catfish ever, and snoop into the town's darkest secrets, Tab sets out to be a hero...and comes of age in an unforgettable confrontation with human frailty, racial injustice, and the healing power of love.
About the Author
Pat Cunningham Devoto was born and raised in Alabama, where her family first settled in 1820, and infuses her novel with authentic local color. The book also takes a revealing look at Southern provincialism and racism as viewed through the innocent eyes of children. She is a former high school history teacher and lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
