Description:
In this coming-of-age story, Porter Osbourne Jr. is a precocious, ì sensitive, and rambunctious boy trying to make it through ì adolescence during the Depression. On a red-clay farm in Georgia, ì he learns all there is to know about cotton-chopping, ì hog-killing, watermelon-thumping, and mule-handling. School ì provides a quick course in practical joking, schoolboy crushes, ì athletic glory, and clandestine sex. But it is Porter's family-- ì his genteel, patient mother, his swarm of cousins, his ì snuff-dipping grandmother, and, most of all, his beloved though ì flawed father--who teaches Porter the painful truths about ì growing up strong enough to run with the horsemen.
