Description
The Nix family has arrived.
And Latchahie County will never be the same.
In an effort at improving his family's lot, the Nixes have moved to rural Florida to open Dogland: a combination zoo, restaurant and motel. But it isn't long before Nix and his clan of eccentric supporters run afoul of unsympathetic locals.
The problem? Luke Nix has hired Ethorne Hawkins.
Hawkins is black. And it's 1959.
