Publisher's Synopsis

"Chilling yet heartwarming....Charles Dickens in west Georgia. A tough coming of age story that tromps through hate to love and loyalty of family and friends." -Jennie Helderman, Pushcart Prize nominee and author of As the Sycamore Grows "In the South, every generation produces a writer whose literary gifts, honed by life's hardships, conceives stories of simplistic yet unforgettable verse. With Another Long Hot Day, author Stan Waits joins illustrious literary company: Welty, Conroy, Morrison and Bragg." -Jedwin Smith, author of Our Brother's Keeper Following their parents' violent deaths, Charlie and his three brothers are cast into the sometimes-brutal world of orphanage life. It is a fearful and confusing beginning to a journey that will take Charlie from hate to compassion and finally to hope. Against a backdrop of the racial injustice of Georgia in the 1960s, two old men-one white and one black-help Charlie discover his self-worth. Through hunting trips, hard work, and conversation, these two men guide Charlie through the emotional minefield between devastating loss and long-lasting peace.
