Preface

Jojo is thirteen and determined to prove himself as a man. He idolises his grandfather Pop and longs to impress the man who has been one of his sole role models.

Jojo's three year old sister Kayla turns solely to him for comfort since their mother, Leonie, is often off taking drugs and their father is in prison.

When their father is released from prison the children are reluctant passengers on the journey to collect them.

Once at the prison Jojo encounters a ghost from Pop's past. A ghost who will teach him all about the violent past of the South.
