{"product_id":"the-atavist-the-color-of-love-9798218561529","title":"The Atavist: The Color of Love","description":"\u003cp\u003e10-year-old John Wayne Lundy swings a pine knot instinctively at his tyrannical stepfather and knocks him into the flooding Edisto River, where he washes limply into the forks of a fallen tree. His young mind conjures up images of the electric chair, where he believed all manslayers ended up. John flees through the swamps of the South Carolina lowcountry, is befriended by a Negro moonshiner's family, and eventually makes his way to the Mississippi Delta. There, through a series of misunderstandings, he is mistaken for the son of a schoolteacher who had borne an atavist by her part-Negro husband. This provides the backdrop for a story of love amid the racial violence of the Civil Rights era. Through this story, Gene Owens traces the evolution of Southern racial attitudes during the '40s and '50s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7480244\"\u003eGene Owens\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pegamo Associates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218561529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC014080\"\u003eHistorical | 20th Century | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC027200\"\u003eRomance | Historical | 20th Century\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pegamo Associates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48457344450797,"sku":"9798218561529","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_f4306386-ecee-4c40-b1a1-27b939e69533.jpg?v=1753579580","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-atavist-the-color-of-love-9798218561529","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
