  <abstract>	
The Crosses are the oldest and proudest black family in Tims Creek, NC, a town still governed by the rhythms and rituals of farming and tobacco. But sixteen year old Horace seeks love and fulfillment where no other Cross has been. What emerges is the complex and sustaining truths of four generations of a black family's life in the South.</abstract>
