Sometime during the middle of the twentieth century, a black child is born in Rundown City, Mississippi, to rundown parents. After Diddley Squatts sixteenyearold mother splits the scene and leaves him in the care of his grandmother, Momma Squatt, Diddley settles into a new life within her threestory hotel/brothel, the CoppASquatt Inn. As he grows older and is nicknamed Young Didd, the boy is unfortunately bullied because of his unusual name and life circumstances. Luckily Diddley develops a thick skin and learns that love is better than hate, thanks to the nurturing, lessons, and mentoring provided by his grandmother and the strong ladies who, along with a googaggle of Inn customers that include famous musicians, soldiers on leave, and politicians, visit the brothel. While on his unique comingofage journey, Diddley also uncovers the mystical powers behind a magical harmonica that allow him to bond with creatures he never imagined could become his best friends, and who could somehow lead him to a new destiny. In this urban novella, a black boy growing up in the south must somehow learn to find his way in life after his mother abandons him, with help from wellmeaning people.
