While fiction about the 1950s Civil Rights era is far from rare, few capture the period and struggles from the perspective of a white child. A storm is brewing in the all-but-forgotten backcountry of Kentucky. And, for young Orbie Ray, the swirling heavens may just have the power to tear open his family’s darkest secrets. Then Like the Blind Man tells the story of a white youth cast aside in the segregated South of the 1950s, and the forces he must overcome to restore order to his world. $0.99 on Kindle.
