All the Way Home

By Edward D Buckley

Meet Lightnin', a thirteen-year-old boy with a spectacular fastball and a less than accurate knuckleball, and his brother, Daniel, a badly crippled child with extraordinary and magical talent. They live in a home on the edge of mysterious woods with their ethereal mother and Zeke, an upbeat but embattled civil rights trial lawyer. Lightnin' and Daniel absorb the shame of their father, a former Atlanta Crackers pitcher jailed for attempted murder and try to ignore schoolyard gossip about their mother. Captivated by their grammar school teacher, Miss Rose, they gradually learn of her secret life. In this coming of age tale, two boys navigate their growing awareness of the Civil Rights Movement, of racial inequality, and the meaning of love and family. They witness a searing out-of-control jury trial that alters their family, their reality, and their hearts forever.
