Powerful! If you were moved by The Help then you definitely need to read Billy. This may have to be added to my 'keeper' shelf.

Young & black in 1937 Mississippi, Billy Lee makes a fateful move in defending himself against an older teenage white girl... fatal for her & in the end for him as well.

Reading this is not for the faint of heart & hearing Billy call out for his mama at the end of the book will bring you to tears.
