Behind the genteel aura of a small northern town, both rich and poor, black and white are trapped by the legacies of slavery fifty years after Emancipation. Among them is Theodore 'Teenotchy' Simms, employed at Holybrook Manor to look after the horses of a young English aristocrat, Alexander Blake, visiting his aunt and uncle that summer. Ignorant of his family's tragic past, hiding from the horrors of his own, Teenotchy is resigned to the life of a poor black confined to the wrong side of the tracks. But, defiant of American social mores, full of good intentions - and a hidden motive - Alexander is determined to befriend him - determined to forge a forbidden bond transcending race, class and sex..Slight shelf wear to edges of cover.
