9 Male 7 Female
An African-American boy is emerging into an bewildering adult world
He senses a growing estrangement from his white playmates and is expelled from school
Lonely and confused, he ends up in a saloon being propositioned by a harlot
Fleeing home feeling beaten, he receives an unforgettable scolding
He becomes ill but then unburdens his heart to the family maid
And she provides new experiences that allow his coming of age
