Cotton, Christopher Wilson

by Christopher Wilson
Review:
Lee Cotton begins life as a blonde, white, blue-eyed boy born of a black mother. He lives the later part of his life as a black woman named Lee McCoy. How is this possible coming from Eureka, Mississippi? That is exactly what I thought when I was reading through Wilson's wonderfully poetic odyssey of misfits. This story has the most plot twists I have ever seen and is sure to please even the most conservative of readers. I couldn't wait to read more and travel through time and place with the title character. If you are looking for something a little out there, look no further.
