Description:
In the backwoods of George County, Mississippi, along a quiet dirt road lined by share-cropper houses, lives a bizarre mystery: the inhabitants of the street known as "Chalktown" don't speak to one another. For years, they've been communicating primarily by writing on chalkboards set up outside their houses. Down the road apiece lives 16-year old Hezekiah Sheehand with his mentally disabled 5-year old brother "Yellababy", his out-of-control older sister Arena, and their often cruel, disaffected mother Susan-Blair. Hez, determined to uncover the mystery of Chalktown, sets out down the road with Yellababy (who can't walk or talk) strapped to his back. The result is like the peeling of an onion, with layer upon layer of hidden secrets emerging with catastrophic results. Steeped in the mystique of the deep South, complete with bible-thumping preachers and miracles, Melinda Haynes has once again created an unforgettable cast of characters who will remain with the listener long after taking leave of George County.
