It's the 1960s and early '70s in small-town South Louisiana. Susanna Burton, a white girl who traumatic home life is hidden behind her father's political power, finds acceptance and forbidden love with an African American family and a young black man named Rodney Thibault. Rodney provides the tenderness and warmth Susie has never known in an era when anti-miscegenation is the law of the land. Even after the Supreme Court strikes down such discrimination, the Ku Klux Klan, other white supremacists, and Susie's parents stand in the way of love. Forced to go their separate ways and live several states apart for years on end, Susie and Rodney continually find their way back together. At the heart of the novel, giving Susie and Rodney the strength to overcome the harshness of their world, and telling Susie stories of his family's escape from slavery and oppression, is Catfish, patriarch of the black family that accepts Susie more fully than her own blood.
