"Cotton County, Georgia, 1930: in a house full of secrets, two babies-one light-skinned, the other dark-are born to Elma Jesup, a white sharecropper’s daughter. Accused of her rape, field hand Genus Jackson is lynched and dragged behind a truck down the Twelve-Mile Straight, the road to the nearby town...Tender and savage, heartbreaking and hopeful, The twelve-mile straight combines the intimacy of a family drama with the grandeur of an American epic" --backcover.
