Then Like The Blind Man: Orbie's Story by Freddie Owens

Then Like The Blind Man: Orbie's Story started off slow, but I did like how the author narrates it through the eyes of a child.  It takes place in a time of prejudices, Detroit and Kentucky in the summer.  Orbie stays with his Grandparents while his mother and stepfather head to Florida. He meets new friends and gains a new found courage that he will eventually need later.  There is a long list of characters each one special to Orbie, and the book does get suspenseful as the story progresses you will find yourself not putting it down happy reading.  I received this book for free from BookBub.com
