Summary

A searing portrait of racism and violence in a small Southern town from the national-bestselling author of God's Little Acre.

When mixed-race brother and sister Ganus and Kathyanne Bazemore move to Estherville, a small Southern town, they are looking for a fresh start. They don't know anyone and nobody knows them, but they are two bright, attractive young people looking for work. It doesn't take long, however, before the two kids are subjected to the worst of the town's lust, brutality, and bigotry.

A gripping story of the pre–civil rights era South, Place Called Estherville offers a candid glimpse of one of America's most troubling legacies.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.
