Bill Hunt was born into the family of a sharecropper in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, near the small town named Bunkie. In the mid 1930s his father became the overseer of a large sugarcane plantation and the family moved to the this black community setting where Hunt grew up. Hunt received an Accounting Degree in 1956 from the University of Louisiana Lafayette. A few months later, he entered the military, where he worked in Army Finance in Washington state and Alaska. He retired from his profession in health care administration in 1991, and began to write about a unique childhood lost in history, on a Louisiana sugar plantation. Proceeds will be donated to Bill Hunt's hometown of Bunkie, in Louisiana as seed money to develop a Boys and Girls Club.
