Making of Isaac Hunt

At his grandfather's deathbed, Isaac Hunt, a black man with blue eyes and skin so fair he looks white, learns his parents aren't really his parents. Armed with only his birth mother's name and the city where she last lived and reeling from betrayal, he goes in search of her and in search of the truth about his past. 

His odyssey takes him deep into the south, where the Klan still rules the small town of his birth, and where more than one person does not want Isaac to uncover the truth about who he his. Along the way, he must deal with issues of faith and forgiveness in this coming-of-age novel about race, identity, courage, and truth.

Isaac's determined to uncover the truth about the birthmother he never knew. He's tired of living a lie.

His desperate search for the truth takes him to Pettigrew. This small town ruled by the powerful white Benson family is shrouded in secrets--secrets about Isaac that some townspeople are willing to kill for.

Will he find his real identity--or just a whole lot of trouble?
