He unsettles the dust and brings fresh ideas to Rehobeth Road. But when Buddys deliberate inattention to the protocol of 1947 North Carolina lands him in jail for a crime against a white woman that he didnt 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.Shelia P. Moses tells a moving and lyrical story inThe Legend of Buddy Bushthat introduces the remarkable and memorable character of Pattie Mae Sheals -- a girl whose sense of humor, ability to get into grown folks business, and determination to know the truth will endear her to readers everywhere.
