A Painted House
In a very good condition. Some light creasing to the spine and edges of cover and a few light marks. All pages are clean and intact. See photos for more details.
September 1952. The cotton is almost ready in the fields of Arkansas. The harvest will soon begin. Luke Chandler is a seven-year-old who lives with his family in a small, unpainted house on rented land. In the next six weeks, the Chandlers and a hired band of hill people and Mexicans must bring in the cotton that is their livelihood and the guarantee of their survival on the land.
Soon heat, rain, fatigue, a killing and the unraveling of a family secret threaten to destroy the Chandler’s hopes and will transport Luke abruptly from childhood innocence to experience.
