"FASCINATING STORY AND VIVIDLY TOLD..." -WRITERS' DIGEST
Twenty-year-old Jake McCray flees Grenada County, Mississippi in the fall of 1879. A young mulatto, he is hesitant to take on his sister's fiery ways of handling life and chooses to use his numbers-sense, music and poetic ways to get by. Still hurt and unsure of why his Pa left home, Jake searches for a better life for himself, his Ma and sister Molly. But Jake's mysterious decision to abandon his life on the Neuman farm leads to deadly consequences and hardship for his family. During his journey, he encounters a Native American friend from his past, a curious White stranger, and a woman of ill- repute who turns out to be more than he could have ever imagined. Indigo Sky is the 2nd installment in the Milcreek Pond Collection. In the original story, Jake's sister Molly starts out as a 14 year girl whose life is threatening to change. When her mother mentions moving from the Neuman estate, Molly struggles to take control of her existence and events around her. This leads her into one calamity after another with the merchants and townspeople. When the town discovers what they believe is the truth, they decide she will pay for her actions. She finally must rely on mill owner Walter Neuman and his wife's Aunt Minnie for help. Fearful of losing her own life, Molly learns that most everything she believes about herself is a lie.
