A month before the Korean War, in a land still grrieving from World War. the story is focused around the violation of Emma, a white juvenile by her stepfather, whilst the blame is placed on a young Negro boy Jordan. The inate racism of the old south, reinforced by the Ku-Klux-Klan, means that young Jordan is in for a sticky time, while the real culprit is protected by the good ol' boys of the town, who would prefer to hunt a young black than admit that one of their own could be that depraved. "War makes widows and abuse makes abusers, two heartaches that combine to make 'Nestling' a damn good read"
