I never would have read this book had someone not given it to me. It's a story about a family in the early 1900s written through the eyes of a young man. Very good! Some history too.

This is an exceptional book. Not a run-of-the-mill churned out cute little story for women. I don't think the review given when you click on the cover does it justice. It IS a tearjerker, however. Its a love story between an old widower and a young woman, told through the eyes of the man's grandson. All the characters are well written. It's also about small town life and family relationships.

Humorous novel about a boy growing up in a small Southern town early in the 20th century. Good characterizations and a fun read.
