Description

With The Whipping Boy, Speer Morgan delivers a rollicking page-turner. I read it once with a fierce compulsion to find out what would happen, a second time for the pleasure of the language and craft. --Wally Lamb

Review by: Daniel Schorsch on Sep. 22, 2010 : star star star star star
This is the first of two, so far, Tom Freshour tales. This one concerns a half-breed Indian teenager and his ghrowing up after release from an orphanage. His maturing, as the story progresses, is subtle but evident. Life in west Arkansas and east Oklahoma in the late 19th century is beautifully portrayed centering about an area of the country and people in conflict not too often depicted. It is riveting and mind expanding. Morgan's insights into human nature are spot on.
