Two things I like about this book as I am still mulling it over:one, its prose is clear and easy; disarmingly so, because what Ellis Burt, at 74, reveals as he reflects on a life of pain and joy isn't so obvious.two, the ending: as they say, poetry and imagination in motion, a search for some comforting redemption.

While attempting to run away from his abusive father, Lewis and his frightened mother drive aimlessly for days through southern Georgia with no set plans. Their car breaks down in the sleepy backwater of Sabbath Creek, and they end up stranded at a ramshackle hotel owned by a 93-year-old black man named Truman Stroud. Stroud is cranky, sarcastic, and full of genuine human warmth. A great deal happens during the weeks of their stay, leading to a deeply affecting friendship among Stroud, Lewis, and his mother.

Mitcham vividly brings to life the rural community of Sabbath Creek, and he handles the emotional and psychological complexities of this story with remarkable subtlety. He also has important things to say about the redemptive power of human kindness and friendship. Definitely recommended.
