M. C. Higgins is a tall, athletic, thoughtful black teenager who lives in the Cumberland Mountains. He must come to terms with conflicting allegiances, to his father and the traditions of his family, on one hand, and to his mother and the younger children in the family, on the other. Faced with a threat to the family that is beyond his control, M. C. learns that being an adult means doing one?s limited best in an imperfect world. |
