Description
In the sweltering summer of 1976, a lonely widow's decision to hire a mysterious homeless man to tend her lawn ignites a firestorm of suspicion in her small Southern town. While the neighborhood children are fascinated by the man they dub the "Pecan Man," their mothers warn them away, their fear amplified when a local boy is found murdered and the Pecan Man is the prime suspect. Decades later, the widow, Ora Lee, is compelled to unearth the truth of that fateful summer, a journey that forces her to confront not only the injustice done to an innocent man but also the buried secrets of her own life. This poignant tale explores themes of prejudice, redemption, and the enduring power of truth, echoing the spirit of classic Southern fiction.
