The Caskey family originates in Perdido, Alabama in the early 20th century. The story follows the successes and mysteries of family members through the 1900's. The prose accurately describes life in the segregated south with the family relationships in a small town and for this senior citizen was recognizable and brought back memories. Complicated and shocking circumstances are brought about by one woman who introduces foreign genetic material with her admission to the family.
