He ends up in a community he had never heard of before, one that has been neglected and ignored by everyone in rural Ham, Mississippi. A place of abject poverty, the neighborhood is commonly referred to as "Around the Way." Within a place forgotten by the rest of the world, politics can be a dangerous game. When a troubling discovery is made, the entire neighborhood is rocked to its core and James is forced to confront his own past in order to help the community have a future. He will have to find the strength to fight for the neighbors he once disregarded and avert a heart-breaking disaster. A self-identified failure is forced to uncover the wisdom of his past in order to recognize that money can't solve every problem. Full of never-ending twists and turns, no one can prepare themselves for the surprises in store. Mr. Jimmy From Around the Way is a story about failure, self-discovery, empowerment, and the possibility of redemption" -- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20240206. 650 $a Philanthropists $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Businessmen $v Fiction. 650 $a Sex in marriage $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Failure (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 4 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 $a Rural poor $z Mississippi $v Fiction. 651 $a Mississippi $x Social conditions $y 21st century $v Fiction. 651 $a Mississippi $x Political aspects $x Political aspects $y 21st century $v Fiction. 651 $a Mississippi $x Economic conditions $y 21st century $v Fiction. 651 $a Mississippi $v Fiction. 651 $a Washington (D.C.) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century $v Fiction. 651 7 $a United States $x Race relations $y 21st century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l WPPB215 $d 20240309011126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21274EB2DDE311EEA4921ED959ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
