Description
by William R. Jordan, MD, recounts the experiences of Charlie's life, born into an upper middle class family in eastern North Carolina in the early 1940s where segregation ruled. Although this was the case, one of Charlie's best friends was Willie, the son of a tenant farmer on one of Charlie's father's farms. They fished, swum together, and played ball before either one of them realized the difference in the colors of their skin. Despite some pressure from their peers to end this friendship, Charlie and Willie stick up for one another and teach others to see past the color of someone's skin.
Along with Willie and Charlie's friendship surviving the pressures of the time, readers will learn about the many accomplishments in Charlie's young life. Charlie truly did far more than any one could imagine a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old doing.
Follow Charlie in as he stands up for what's right, takes on responsibilities that will aid his future, and experiences love and heartache.
