The Hawk and the Sun by Byron Herbert Reece

This is one day in the life of Dandelion, a physically impaired man who is the sole black resident in the small, pre-civil rights town of Tilden. After an outpouring of hatred drives away Tilden's black residents, Dandelion survives on handouts and odd jobs - until the town turns against him, too.

BYRON HERBERT REECE was a lifelong resident of the north Georgia mountains. An author whose work is closely tied to the spirit and traditions of Appalachia, he wrote two novels: The Hawk and the Sun and Better a Dinner of Herbs (Georgia). In addition, Reece was the author of four highly acclaimed volumes of poetry.
