Wise Men (Thorndike Press Large Print Peer Picks)

He purchases a simple beach house on Cape Cod where, in the summer of 1952, his teenage son, Hilly, makes friends with Lem Dawson, a black man who cares for the house. When Hilly falls for Lem's niece, Savannah, his affection collides with his father's dark secrets. The results shatter both families. Years later, Hilly sets out to right the wrongs he set in motion.
