Knowing this really happened gives you a whole different
perspective of what it was like for blacks and poor whites in the south during
the early 20th century.
In the summer of 1932, Ben, a black man originally from
Sapelo Island, Georgia, heads to Waycross to hunt for work with his cousin Eli.
Eli is lynched on a tall Georgia pine, for a crime he did not commit, which the
people then named the “Jesus Tree.” Then Ben is wrongfully accused of murdering
a white Methodist preacher. In fear for his family’s life, he is framed by the
most influential man in town, Clayborne Cutler, and given forty years in a
prison camp. What transpires between 1932 and 1972 will stay with you forever.
Ben’s faith, integrity, and honor triumph over all evil.
