This book was donated to the Cameo Café bookshelf. It is a paperback in good condition.
From the cover:- "September 1952 and the cotton is almost ready in the fields of Arkansas. Luke Chandler is a seven-year old who lives with his family in a small unpainted house on rented land. Soon heat, rain, a killing and the unravelling of a family secret threaten to destroy the Chandlers hopes and transport Luke abruptly from childhood innocence to adult experience",
I have read and enjoyed another copy of this book on two occasions and would highly recommend it.

Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.
I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.
When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.
