About the Book

THE GULLY PATH, set in Mississippi during the turbulent era of the 1950's and 60's, follows the lives of two friends, one white, the other black. Sue Ann spends her pre-adolescent years protecting her best friend, Liz Bess, an African American girl who lives at the end of the gully path, from the prejudice and mistreatment of the white society of Mississippi. Book I, WHERE THE GULLY PATH BEGINS, tells Sue Ann's story from eleven years of age when she fought to maintain her friendship with Liz Bess, until Sue Ann's entrance in college. Book II, WHERE THE GULLY PATH ENDS, tells of Sue Ann's love story with Tate Douglas, a COFO worker from the North, and covers the violent summer of 1964. Liz Bess, now Elizabeth, returns to Mississippi from the North, to become a freedom fighter for her people and comes face to face with racist violence and death. Through the turmoil, Sue Ann is reminded of the words of Nagalee, Elizabeth's grandmother, on her deathbed: "Love ain't black, and love ain't white; it jes is."

About the Author :
DR. SUE CLIFTON, in addition to being an author, is a fly fisher, retired educator, ghost hunter, and lover of all things vintage including vehicles and her 1950 Comet camper "Spam I Am." Dr. Sue and "Spam" travel to events all over the U.S. sponsored by the national group in which Dr. Sue is a member, Sisters on the Fly. Dr. Sue can't remember a time when she did not write beginning with two plays published at sixteen. Her writing career was put on hold while she traveled the world with her husband Woody in his career, as well as with her own career as a teacher and administrator in Mississippi, Alaska, New Zealand, and on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana. The places Dr. Sue has lived provide rich background and settings for the novels she creates. Dr. Sue now divides her time among homes in Montana, Mississippi, and Arkansas and enjoys traveling, ghost hunting, fly fishing and camping with Woody and their grandchildren. THE GULLY PATH is the first of five published novels written by Dr. Sue. Ten percent of Dr. Sue's book sales goes to Casting for Recovery, a national organization that provides fly fishing retreats for women survivors of breast cancer.
