Celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Shelia P. Moses's National Book
Award finalist and Coretta Scott King Honoree, The Legend of Buddy
Bush, with this new edition of a classic novel that's more relevant
than ever.
The day Uncle Goodwin "Buddy" Bush came from Harlem all the way back
home to Rehobeth Road in Rich Square, North Carolina, is the day Pattie
Mae Sheals's life changes forever.
Pattie Mae adores and admires Uncle Buddy--he's tall and handsome and he
doesn't believe in the country stuff most people believe in, like ghosts
and stepping off the sidewalk to let white folks pass. But when Buddy is
arrested for a crime against a white woman that he didn't commit, Pattie
Mae and her family are suddenly set to journeying on the long, hard road
that leads from loss and rage to forgiveness and pride.
