"A timeless classic" (San Antonio Express-News) about a black man who spent seventeen years on a brutal Texas prison plantation and underwent a remarkable transformation. First published in 1984, Racehoss: Big Emma's Boy is Albert Race Sample's "unforgettable" (The Dallas Morning News) tale of resilience, revelation, and redemption. From being raised by a hard-drinking black prostitute who refused to let her mixed-race son call her Mama to seventeen years of incarceration, many of them spent picking cotton in an all-black prison plantation known as the "burnin' hell," to a profound spiritual awakening in solitary confinement and a new life, Sample's remarkable experiences are shocking, vital, and moving. With new stories that had been edited out of the first edition, a foreword by Texas attorney and writer David R.
