(PRLeap.com) "The Mullet Man", a new book by R. W. Fields, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"The Mullet Man" is a moving and timely novella that tells the unforgettable story of an unexpected bond between Ulysses, an elderly Black man, and Richie, an 11-year-old white boy, set against the backdrop of the American South in 1955. What begins as a shared love of fishing soon evolves into a deep, transformative friendship, one that challenges the racial norms of the time.

As Ulysses imparts wisdom forged from a lifetime of hard labor and quiet resilience, Richie begins to confront the harsh realities of racism, identity, and the complexities of belonging. When their friendship sparks disapproval and backlash in their segregated community, "The Mullet Man" becomes a powerful reflection on courage, compassion, and the enduring hope for change.

Rich with atmosphere and emotional depth, the novella offers a poignant glimpse into a divided era, while echoing universal truths that still resonate today.
