Bound Bayou: Danger and forbidden love in the hot and humid prejudice of 1950s Mississippi

A young teacher from England achieves a dream when he gets the chance to escape his mundane life and work for a year in the United States, but 1950s Mississippi is not like the America he has seen on the movie screens at home.
His travel adventure turns into a living nightmare when his independent spirit collides with the rules of life in the Deep South.
Ultimately he faces a character defining challenge: can he find the courage to save those who need him, though he risks dying in the attempt? Part thriller, part love story, Bound Bayou is a novel set in an era and country on the verge of huge change.
