Darkness on the Delta

More about the book

Growing up and living in conflict with the social mores and standards of the Mississippi Delta, school teacher Bern Gresham must find solutions for a wide array of formidable complications as he battles against significant economic poverty and racial divides. His personal life becomes a quagmire of family deaths, deep depression, and unrelenting anger that he must reconcile in order to find joy and a belief that life is worth living, even in the darkness that comfortably shades but oppressively shackles life in the Delta.
