Love, forgiveness and education are the redemption of those guilty of the sins of lust, greed, jealously - even murder. Hall weaves a tapestry of subplots reaching from rural Alabama farms to Auburn and Tuskegee universities all the way to Washington D.C, and World War II in Europe which keeps the reader guessing as to their outcomes. The John Henry Saga recounts the relationship between two boys, one white raised from the times of their births through adulthood in part by the white boy's wealthy grandparents, and a Negro boy, raised by his Aunt Sophie. The drama of the novel hits hard with the lynching of John Henry Jackson by the KKK as the global social tensions reach the rural Alabama farms of Marse Robert and Marse Henry.
