Simmon Tree Bottom was the town of Kinsales best kept secret. No one in that small Virginia town knew its historic value. No one knew why this place was so horrid. No one really cared either. Nonetheless, the ones who happened to stumble upon this place would never forget it. After writing a best-selling novel about the family that lived in this place called Simmon Tree Bottom, Lizzy found herself dead center in the legend that lay beneath Kinsales mysterious persimmon tree. It seemed that all hell was breaking loose, and Lizzy realized that this small, insignifi cant place was not so obscure, at least not to those who dwelled beneath it. There seemed to be a connection that tied it all together. Lizzy introduced the world to Simmon Tree Bottom and now Simmon Tree Bottom was introducing her and the rest of the world to the Trilok.

Nate Shaw's father was born under slavery. Nate Shaw was born into a bondage that was only a little gentler. At the age of nine, he was picking cotton for thirty-five cents an hour. At the age of forty-seven, he faced down a crowd of white deputies who had come to confiscate a neighbor's crop. His defiance cost him twelve years in prison. This triumphant autobiography, assembled from the eighty-four-year-old Shaw's oral reminiscences, is the plain-spoken story of an "over-average" man who witnessed wrenching changes in the lives of Southern black people -- and whose unassuming courage helped bring those changes about.
