Bruce Wise Weeks has written a novel about the Kitchens Mill area and presented it to the Nancy Bonnette Library on Sunday, February 26, from 2 - 4 pm. Purchase your copy of Salleys Kitchen on Amazon and follow the Salleys Kitchen Facebook Page for more information.
Here's the official description:
Told in an achingly beautiful voice, Salleys Kitchen conveys the story of a tender first love among brutal racial hatred. Set among the sandhills of a western South Carolina cotton farm, it is ripped from the actual events that occurred in that region during the late 1960s. With painstaking realism, the story paints an intense portrait of life as a black person during the Jim Crow Era in the South. Seen through the eyes of a young white boy lovingly raised since an infant in the southern black culture, his unique point of view articulates his struggle to enter adulthood as a white black person.
