Southern Exposure Contributor

This is excerpted from the author’s first novel, to be published next year, about a young black girl’s coming to terms with her new stepmother, a white woman from out of town. Dori Sanders raises and sells peaches in York County, South Carolina on land her family has owned and farmed since 1915. She describes herself as a novelty — “the only black family-owned farm woman” in the county. During winter months she helps run a Maryland motel with friends to make ends meet. (1989)
