Book summary

Tucker Caliban is the quiet, determined descendant of an African chief brought to America in chains. In his tiny, backwater Southern town, Tucker suddenly salts his fields, burns down his house, kills his livestock, and takes his wife and child off to parts unknown, precipitating a mass exodus of the state's entire Black population.
