The Clock of Life
of Nancy Klann-Moren (Goodreads Author)
Description
In the small town of Hadlee, Mississippi, during the 1980's, Jason Lee Rainey struggles to find his way amongst the old, steadfast Southern attitudes about race, while his friendship with a black boy, Samson Johnson, deepens. By way of stories from others, Jason Lee learns about his larger-than-life father, who was killed in Vietnam. He longs to become that sort of man, but doesn't believe he has it in him. In The Clock Of Life he learns lessons from the past, and the realities of inequality. He flourishes with the bond of friendship; endures the pain of senseless death; finds the courage to stand up for what he believes is right; and comes to realize he is his father's son. This story explores how two unsettling chapters in American history, the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, affect the fate of a family, a town, and two boyhood friends.2014 Kindle Book Review Awards, Literary Fiction Writer's Digest Self Published e-Book Awards, 2nd place for Fiction 2013 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Finalist, General Fiction 2013 Readers Favorite Book Awards, Finalist Awesome Indies AIA Recipient BRAG, Book Readers Appreciation Group, Honoree
