Atlanta Jeb


en Limba Engleză Paperback
Jeb, a boy, narrates a story set in the rocking and rolling 1950s Atlanta. His father, Hank McKnight, a combat veteran and lawyer took on the case of a poor black woman, Ida Mae Reivers, imprisoned at age nineteen for homicide. A good outcome seemed impossible. Hank's unlikely team had to fight a wider battle in the street with murder in the mix. Comments from readers: "Mayhem up the street from my home, not a typical Buckhead story." C.E. ATLANTA "I laughed...contains one of my all time favorite lines." M. H. GREENWICH, CT "I thought I could be Ida Mae. A thriller I couldn't put it down." E. I. JACKSONVILLE, FL "Interesting, funny, suspenseful." K.W. SURREY, ENGLAND "Great story." R.M. SANTA BARBARA, CA

At Mr. Jefferson's University of Virginia he retired from football after his third concussion. He consoled himself at the P.K. Lodge, "doors off the hinges parties."
