Description: Having led a life with more plot twists than a novel, it's no surprise that Guy Johnson can write a great story. Growing up and living abroad for many years, Guy has at one time or another been a college student in Egypt, worked on oil rigs in Kuwait, and run a photo safari service from London through Morocco and Algeria. He eventually settled down in Oakland, working with local government and raising a son. Having appeared in autobiographical work of his mother, Maya Angelou, he extends the family story in Standing at the Scratch Line, a novel whose main character grew out of research he conducted on his grandfather's life. Starting in the steamy bayous of Louisiana, the book takes the reader through the trenches of World War I to Jazz Age Harlem to the frontiers of Oklahoma and beyond. Throughout this thrilling adventure, Guy Johnson weaves a complex and epic story about King Tremain, a man who is willing to fight for what he wants. Standing at the Scratch Line is bound to become a classic.
