When Hampton Bynote meets Bones Arcineaux, the two begin stealing from the rich whites of the French Quarter as a way of recovering the pride that was once taken from them.

"The Secrets of Newberry By Victor Mc Glothin An eye for an eye is a part of this story;plus old secrets hidden and resurfaced. Some of the characters were always on the wrong side of the law and at the end one of the characters wanted to be freed of all the bad things he had known. Excellent book"

" Unfortuntately, this book did not appeal to me and I could not finish it. I think the premise is very interesting, but I could not connect with the characters. The setting was described in an interesting manner, I just could not connect with the characters. "

" This is an amazing book, but I'm surprised by the lack of development in the relationship between the two main characters. It's heavily focused on one of them. Still, it's highly entertaining "

" The Secrets of Newberry is a very compelling book about family, friendship, racism, love and trust. It gives the views of Newberry, Louisiana in the 1950's and how two families dealt with secrets. "
