The Perfect Man

An evocative study of small town Missouri in the 1950s follows Rajiv Travers, a dark-skinned young boy born to an Indian mother, abandoned by his British relatives, and raised by an American romance writer, as he copes with the prejudice he encounters with the help of his loyal friends--Annie, Lewis, Alvin, and Nora. Reader's Guide included. Original. 50,000 first printing.
