Lamb White Days is a magical realism trilogy in the Thomas Wolfe tradition about a young man's adventures and character development from three stages of his life. Beginning in 1962 and ending in 1970, the novel concerns the coming of age of Robinson Bell, a Southern boy the reader first meets at the age of twelve. From this opening part of the trilogy, Robinson progresses to age fifteen and eventually to his senior year of high school, chronicling his break from his family and familiar surroundings and his transition into a college freshman away from home for the first time. Between his growing sense of isolation, his ongoing discovery of the wicked ways of the world and its sometimes unexpected kindnesses, and his unceasing search for his own unique place upon the mystical earth of his existence, Robinson Bell discovers himself growing up to become the fellow he never thought he'd be.

This first book in Bland's trilogy is sure to leave the reader with a keen sense of that magical age that was the 1960's through the eyes of his wonderfully raftered protagonist, Robinson Bell.
