Summary
Travis Coates falls in love with an 18 year old girl name Lia Johnson,who is a white passing colored girl.She doesn't hide her color as Salt Lick is pretty open minded when it comes to her color but sometimes she still ends up passing as White. His mother Katie of course isn't a fan of her because she's a saloon girl while his Father Jim of course thinks Katie is talking that women nonsense doing the lords judging as he puts it. Travis first meets Lia when her and her mother and younger sister Jess (who is the same age as Arliss and is just as scrappy as he is and can chuck rocks just as good as Arliss can if not better) and father moved into the house about two miles down the road, her mother is a black (colored) woman with milky black skin as the chocolate candy coins down at the mercantile and her father is white as the chalk they use down at the schoolhouse.Lia is a singing saloon girl and makes pretty good money though her mother doesn't really like that fact one because she's working in a saloon. Katie of course forbids Travis to be around her so as they get to know each other they start to meet in secret at night in the cornfield.
