Book Overview
Celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Shelia P. Moses's National Book Award finalist and Coretta Scott King Honoree, The Legend of Buddy Bush, with this classic novel that's more relevant than ever. The day Uncle Goodwin "Buddy" Bush came from Harlem all the way back home to Rehobeth Road in Rich Square, North Carolina, is the day Pattie Mae Sheals's life changes forever. Pattie Mae adores and admires Uncle Buddy--he's tall and handsome and he doesn't believe in the country stuff most people believe in, like ghosts and stepping off the sidewalk to let white folks pass. But when Buddy is arrested for a crime against a white woman that he didn't commit, Pattie Mae and her family are suddenly set to journeying on the long, hard road that leads from loss and rage to forgiveness and pride.

One of the best books I have ever read.

"The Legend of Buddy Bush" is indeed one of the best books I have ever read. There are not enough good books for our children to read and this one is at the top of my list. Pattie Mae is smart and a character that we all can relate to.
A Touching Book!

The Legend of Buddy Bush was one of the Best Books I have ever read. It teaches love, understanding, life, and loss. Shelia P. Moses really captures the reader. I couldn't put the book down and I thought it was wonderful. When I finished, I wished I hadn't because I loved it and I think that it really led me to understand how things were "back then."A wonderfully compelling tale.
