No. 6 on my list of all-time favorite Grisham novels. This is the story that is based on Grisham's own childhood, and it is one of the most dear to me as a fellow small-town Southerner. I see my own ancestors in the story told here, and I love the book all the more for it.
This copy was another $1.00 clearance hardcover from Half-Price Books.

Finished reading this tonight. I really enjoyed it, especially after reading the "King of Torts". Unlike that one, it seems that Grisham has put his heart and soul into this book.
Received as part of the Hardcover Relay - plan to start this week. Thanks for sending to me !
Great book from Grisham - not his usual courtroom scenes but nontheless, a deeply moving story based on his own childhood. Well worth the time to read this account of the deeps south.

Arrived today - thanks!
I enjoyed this book very much. I liked the family and appreciated their struggle to bring in a good crop before the rains come.

One of my favourite reads of the year so far. Luke's childhood proved such a contrast to the childhood my own sons and their peers enjoyed, yet were my boys any happier? I think not. The thing that came across to me most strongly was the importance of values - knowing what your values are and sticking to them. This certainly saw the Chandler family through tough times.
