Produktbeschreibung
The year is 1959, and the winds of change rip through the bucolic river town of Jordan, South Carolina. On the cusp of the civil rights movement in America, ethnic tensions reach a boiling point within a cauldron of clashing ideologies and faiths. A devout family - one intimately connected to the land - awaits the homecoming of the eldest son from up north. He has been away at the seminary for some six years. In a highly anticipated event, he arrives home with none other than the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr, himself.In the tumultuous weekend that follows, the mighty King electrifies Jordon with the gospel of freedom and integration. But amidst the larger social conflict, another contrasting mindset intervenes, that embodied by the fiery young protagonist, Jimmy. A product of the mean streets of an urban ghetto, the precocious intruder is steeped in the militant ethos of Malcolm X, and his worldview amounts to a bombshell within this isolated, genteel community, a potent source of moral confusion that will wreak havoc, threatening to rip little Jordon asunder."It's a good read." Wendy Williams, syndicated television and radio host."A treat for lovers of fiction."RAWSISTAZ reviewers."Make note of the name and make sure to digest this important work. His is a new, refreshing literary voice."Curtis Bunn, Founder National Club Conference.

Autorenporträt
A native of South Carolina, J. B. Morton built and led two successive international banking businesses at large banking companies in the South for more than 30 years. From a base in North Carolina, he conducted business in support of domestic clients in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, London, Rome, Florence and Vienna as well as elsewhere through the world. Previously, he published an historical account of the international monetary system (World War II to the 1970s) in a leading business journal. Soul Like a River is his first work of literary fiction. His completed stage play entitled Dusk and Desire was given a staged reading during a high-profile national theater festival in the past.
