Sometimes Home in Alabama is not so sweet...
Now forced to run the gauntlet, it will take all of Abe\'s skills and then some if he and Mickey are to survive..
In his determination to help Mickey rise above his disadvantages, Abe not only disrupts the small Alabama town\'s social structure, but also incites its wealthiest and most malevolent citizen.
A fast friendship develops, and Abe begins filling the fatherless void in Mickey\'s life.
Things take a turn for the better when Mickey meets Abe, a resourceful black man and former Navy SEAL.
At school, twelve-year-old Mickey is nameless, powerless, and invisible.
And all the labels and stereotypes that come with life at the poverty line for white folks.

So says the local legend.
A passing train pulling two Yellow cabooses guarantees a promising future.
