|  | Out of the Night That Covers Me by Pat Cunningham Devoto
John McMillan comes of age in this poignant tale, set in 1950s Alabama. Orphaned at the age of 8, John is uprooted from his comfortable life, taken away to live in a tumbledown shack with his Aunt Nelda. There the boy experiences not only culture shock but outright brutality at the hands of his Uncle Luther who works him almost to death in the cotton fields and then beats him. He finds redemption and comfort, however, when he gets a job working for a local judge. AUTHOR: Pat Cunningham Devoto
