SynopsisFeaturing a WSP Reading Group Guide Purvis, Mississippi, 1974: Willem Fremont has just returned to his childhood hometown to come to grips with his past. He has spent his adult life held tight inside the clenched fist of panic disorder -- the stagnation produced by making too many wrong decisions was more paralyzing than a whole case of Jim Beam.Determined that a trip back to the family farm will help him confront his unhappy upbringing, Willem is stunned to find his father's beloved acreage -- so much land, such a great big house -- in the hands of Eilene Till and her two grown sons. There's the plump and perennially unemployed Sonny, building a shrimp boat in the Tills' landlocked backyard, and Bruno, a disabled Vietnam vet, who escapes into his stash of oldNational Geographicswhile his wife, Leah, seeks a small measure of comfort in the day-to-day tending of their farm. How Willem navigates through these unsettled lives to find love and reconciliation in his own is at the heart of this compassionate portrait of small-town America that celebrates the unusual, embraces the unwanted, and opens its arms to all lost souls in search of a home., Featuring a WSP Reading Group Guide Purvis, Mississippi, 1974: Willem Fremont has just returned to his childhood hometown to come to grips with his past.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Mrs. Haynes is my latest favorite writer. All of her books keep me turning pages and I'm always a little sad that the story ends!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
