My Brother's Story

My Brother's Story, set in the South of the 1930s, is the story of identical twin boys who are separated at a very early age. Will has grown up in a happy, well-off family near Birmingham, Alabama, while his brother, Johnny, has been living in Tennessee with their mean-spirited aunt. Will's objective is to have as much fun as possible, while Johnny must do his best to survive in an environment of neglect and abuse. In a time so very different from today, the two boys travel by steam train, flat-bottomed boat, and even biplane to find each other. Johnny is befriended by an elderly black man named Abraham Lincoln Frasier, who lives deep in a Georgia swamp near Savannah. In this dangerous but exciting wilderness of snakes and alligators, Johnny and Linc must confront and overcome and even greater danger: racial hatred. My Brother's Story is about the timeless values of goodness, generosity, and simple human dignity.Johnson, Allen is the author of 'My Brother's Story ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780944353172 and ISBN 0944353177.
