A Painted House
|
|
 |
Title Description Inspired by the author's own childhood in rural Arkansas, the story is narrated by a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and, sometimes, each other. As the weeks pass, Luke sees and hears things no seven-year-old could possibly be prepared for, and finds himself keeping secrets that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the Chandlers forever. A PAINTED HOUSE is a moving story of one boy's journey from innocence to experience. Recommendations Customers who ordered this book also ordered: 1. The Appeal by John Grisham; read by Michael Beck.
