World War II has just ended, which alerted many Americans to the world beyond, but Honor and Billy's lives are limited to the dead-end town of DeForest Junction, Ohio, and its nearby notcherie, where exotic wemen sell their bodies to the rail men. Alongside her mixed-race 'cousin' Billy, Honor grows to womanhood, cared for by Miss Alsada and enchanted by the colorful stories of the shanty store owner, Mr. Augustus Willard, who claims to have traveled far and wide. One day, an itinerant blues musician shows up at the boardinghouse, electrifying Billy with his skill at the upright piano. He departs just as quickly, leaving behind hints that he might be Billy's father. Soon after Buster Stanley's departure, men in white hoods burn a cross in the field behind the boardinghouse and torch a number of shacks occupied by black families. Honor and Billy decide to leave DeForest Junction -- a feat they accomplish with the help of Mr. Willard, whose shanty store was burned. With Honor disguised as a boy for safety's sake, the three friends ride the rails southward, their ultimate destination: New Orleans. Billy is on the trail of Buster Stanley, but Honor is on an intense quest for Honor. How will she escape that fate of those wemen, waiting for a man to fill up the void in her life?"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Orphans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Race relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen forties $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1945-1953 $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Friendship. $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174. $2 fast 650 7 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) $0 (OCoLC)fst00966889. $2 fast 650 7 $a Orphans. $0 (OCoLC)fst01048433. $2 fast 650 7 $a Race relations. $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509. $2 fast 651 7 $a United States. $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155. $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. $2 fast 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718024045.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E83CF030BF4511E5B286A9D6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
