Little Joe - World War II drama Kindle ebook marketing by Michael Glasscock
A boy who has lost everything learns that love and
friendship can bloom in the most unlikely of places.
When Little Joe Stout survives the car accident that took
his parents' lives, he is sent to live with his maternal grandparents in the
small town of Round Rock, Tennessee. Orphaned and missing his Texas home,
Little Joe is reluctant to adapt. But his grandparents, especially his
grandmother, are up to the challenge of raising him despite their own
struggles. Soon, childhood friendships are forged in the oddball duo of Sugar
and Bobby, and--with the help of a new canine companion--Little Joe begins to
see that his new home offers the comfort and love he thought was lost forever.
Set against the drama of World War II and the first sparks
of the civil rights movement, Little Joe's new home is a microcosm of America
in the 1940s. A frightening incident with a Chinese motorist traveling on the
wrong side of town, the migration of troops across the countryside, and a frank
discussion of Jim Crow laws are just a few of the local events mirroring the
radio broadcasts that bring the news of the day into his grandmother s kitchen.
Little Joe begins a four-part series from Michael E.
Glasscock III that explores the intricate social cloth of Round Rock,
Tennessee.
