Ellen Douglas, a native of Mississippi and a prize-winning novelist of rare distinction, reveals the turbulent changes that rocked the South in the sixties and continue to this day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e No event is predictable in this powerful novel. A young man who has spent several years in the North returns to his native Mississippi seeking rural peace. But solitude is not to be his, for soon he is caught up again in a traumatic event that happened seven years before in 1964--the death in an auto accident of the beautiful young cousin whom he loved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the story unfolds, the people who were involved in that senseless tragedy reveal their part in it, and as they do, the reader becomes intensely involved not only in their lives but in what it means to be Black or white in the modern South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161703603X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617036033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Ellen Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939232678143,"sku":"9781617036033","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b5de4dd1-55b5-467c-b391-8568100d0ce1.jpg?v=1681440283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rock-cried-out-ellen-douglas-9781617036033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
