"In this bold and sprightly novel set in contemporary Florida, Beverly Coyle, the acclaimed author of The Kneeling Bus, tackles one of the preeminent social problems of our time: the racism that lies beneath the veneer of suburban society." "Ninety-one-year-old Tom Glover hopes to live out his final years in peace and quiet - until his daughter, Lois, returns home with her husband, Paul, who suffers from the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. In an attempt to help his son-in-law, Glover hires two neighborhood boys to care for Paul. But Glover's choice of a black youth, Ted Johnson, over another white boy unleashes the festering racism in Point Breeze, Florida, and Glover and Lois find themselves Johnson's sole supporters in a disturbing and eye-opening confrontation with the community. As they try to negotiate the hostility they face, Glover is forced to confront his own history as well as the changing nature of racial conflict in America today." "Written with the keen eye and witty pen that distinguished The Kneeling Bus, In Troubled Waters confirms Beverly Coyle's position as one of the bright new lights in contemporary fiction."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
