Edgar Allan

A white family adopts a small black child and then, because they are fearful of what will happen in their small town, make a terrible decision.

"This is not a novel about prejudice or race relations or brotherhood It is about parents and children, young people and older people, about love and failure, loss and discovery, coming to terms with ourselves and others. Edgar Allan is a work of art."-The New York Times
