Description
John Grisham transports readers to the rural Arkansas cotton fields of 1952 in this poignant coming-of-age story narrated by seven-year-old Luke Chandler. As Luke's family and hired hands from the Ozarks and Mexico work tirelessly through the harvest, the boy witnesses events far beyond his years. Amidst the grueling labor and simmering tensions, Luke uncovers secrets that could jeopardize the crop and irrevocably alter his family's future. This deeply personal novel, inspired by Grisham's own childhood, offers a vivid portrayal of a child's perspective on hardship, family, and the complex truths of the adult world.
