Description
This novel is a moving evocation of a time and place -- an Appalachian boyhood in the 1940s. The book describes the coming of age of Speer Whitfield, raised by a zany spinster aunt and a family of memorable characters: a sister who is slowly dying, a mother mistreated by various men, a mysterious grandfather.
