Missing Isaac

Fiction

“Looking both acutely and compassionately past the upheavals that defined the South in the troubled 1960s, Valerie Fraser Luesse’s beautiful story of a white boy’s quest for a missing black field hand reveals the human heart that always beat beneath the headlines. In the process, she movingly illuminates not only the spirit of a special region but the soul of every human being who ever dared to care. Missing Isaac will break—and then heal—your heart.”
