They lay head to toe in a cradle meant for one, Winnafred on one side and Wilson on the other. Only if you looked closely – and people did – could you see that the girl was pink as a piglet, and the boy was brown.                        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 down the Twelve-Mile Straight, the road to the nearby town.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53504721158417,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780008158682.jpg?v=1778085092","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-twelve-mile-straight-by-eleanor-henderson","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
