It's the 1950's, and, after the death of his beloved mother, an eight year old white boy is thrust into a life he's never known - working long hours in the fields for his violent, alcoholic uncle. He learns to identify with the struggles of the poor black people that he encounters. Powerful story telling of lost innocence, prejudice and the secret corners of a child's heart.
