Charlie is by...

"Naked Came the Stranger" set the format, but not always the tone or subject matter, for a whole string of books that appeared in the 1970s.

The plot features Noah, a plantation slave who escapes and makes his way to the Union forces... "Naked Came the Stranger" set the format, but not always the tone or subject matter, for a whole string of books that appeared in the 1970s. Called co...
