A realistic picture of life for the minority poor in the last century unfolds through retold conversations about a locality, a fishing industry, and two wars. This book is a fictionalized biography of Alvin Wormley, an actual person, a remarkable black man who was born the son of a poor tenant farmer in the rural south of 1912. Alvin faced life's perplexities in a segregated society. Through good times and bad he accepted life as it was offered. An honest and sincere man, he lived without malice until his return from army service in World War II. It was only then that he questioned riding in the back of the bus.
