| Summary | Annotation David Champlin is a black man born into poverty in Depression-era New Orleans who achieves great success and then sacrifices everything to lead his people in the difficult, day-by-day struggle of the civil rights movement. Sara Kent is the beloved and vital white girl who loved David from the moment she first saw him, but they struggled over Davids belief that a marriage for them would not be right in the violent world he had to confront. Likening the struggle of black Americans to the "five smooth stones" the biblical David carried against Goliath in lieu of arms, this novels range encompasses decades and continents--but that range is insignificant compared with the intimate picture of its heros irresistible warmth and inner conflicts. First published in 1966, this epic has become one of the most loved American bestsellers. |
