O knihe
Life is difficult for the hardworking
Jones family. Aunt Grace Jones, her son Willie, and his
daughter Talu do their best to survive in the rural,
destitute Louisiana town of Double Bridges. But when
Augustus Riley is elected sheriff, life becomes even more
difficult. A sharecropper-turned-lawman, Riley despises the
black race, and he vows to make their lives
miserable.
Sheriff Riley especially despises
Willie, and he stops at nothing to antagonize him. Willie
sends for his lifelong friend Benjamin Ford, who travels
from Toronto, Canada, to help the Jones family deal with the
malicious behavior of the new sheriff. The situation
escalates from bad to worse when the sheriff first kills
Willie's prized hounds and then attempts to drown Willie in
the local pond. Willie Jones vows revenge and its
repercussions threaten to tear this family apart.
A work of historical fiction, Double Bridges narrates the
story of one family's battle with southern injustice that
tests their will and grinds away at their everyday existence.
