Mississippi Shadows

This is a book that was started over 50 years ago by my father, Patrick, and finished by myself. It is about a man who returns from the Korean war to go home, and finds that he is no longer the same person who left, and is on a journey of self-discovery. It is bound to be controversial due to language, and situations that were found in that period of time in the south. There is also a murder mystery that weaves through the story, which grabs the reader taking them along with it. No Man's Land is a cotton plantation that just ekes by, and the family is hanging on to the fragments of the old south that are in the process of changing. Tim, the heir of the plantation, rejects the plans that his family have, and creates chaos around him, partly because of the chaos in his soul, and partly fear and loathing of himself and the future.
