Publisher's Synopsis
Jimmy Mayes grew into adulthood in the midst of hostile prejudice and abject poverty. The son of Alabama sharecroppers, he vows to spare his own son from the heartache and want that he had to endure. Jimmy's deep commitment to create a better life launches the narrative of one family spanning three generations. Their pursuit of something better unfolds within historical settings, moving from America's Deep South during the Great Depression to an Illinois mining town during Second World War, ending with a rapidly growing city in Arizona during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. This is the inspiring story of devoted family and life-long friends facing life's deepest struggles with vision, faith and abiding love.
