Summary:
The Civil War may be over, but times are not substantially improved for the freed Black citizens of Walkerton, Georgia, who are shunned by the white folks of the surrounding towns. When Rootilla Redgums and her grandson, Julius Jefferson, arrive they teach the citizens of Walkerton how to make all sorts of beautiful things. When a hooded mob threatens to burn down the town, Julius and Rootilla must work wonders to protect Walkerton and its people.
