Sarah Mack's Stacks: Standing at the Scratch Line (1998) by Guy Johnson

This is the first novel of a two part series. Standing at the Scratch Line was published in 1998, and the sequel, Echoes of a Distant Summer, was published in 2002. Standing at the Scratch Line is an African American migration novel that includes settings in Louisiana, New York, and a fictional all-Black town in Oklahoma, named Bodie Wells. Despite being the son of Maya Angelou, Johnson's novel hasn't really captured the attention or interest of the scholarly community. Nevertheless, female readers across the country read and celebrated Johnson's heroic badman, King Tremain, and urged their brothers, fathers, and in some cases, all the men in their families to read the book. One reader commented, "Never in all my fifty years of being a black man have I read a book that truly captured the rage and anger I have always felt. King Tremain could have easily been me and lots of other black men I've known. I've insisted that all five of my sons read this novel and imagine being this man."
