520    "Dating back to slavery, Edgefield County, South Carolina-
       a place "easy to pass by on the way somewhere else"--Has 
       been home to generations of Lanhams. In The Home Place, 
       readers meet these extraordinary people, including Drew 
       himself, who over the course of the 1970s falls in love 
       with the natural world around him. As his passion takes 
       flight, however, he begins to ask what it means to be "the
       rare bird, the oddity"-to find joy and freedom in the same
       land his ancestors were tied to by forced labor, and then 
       to be a black man in a profoundly white field. This book 
       is a remarkable meditation on nature and belonging, at 
       once a deeply moving memoir and riveting exploration of 
       the contradictions of black identity in the rural South-
       and in America today."--Jacket.
