Luther Biggs was born in Pearl City, Indiana, a small, run down community of ramshackle houses and derelict trailers nestled in between the town levee and the Wabash River basin. His mother, Lula, a known alcoholic and brawler, had once sold Luther in exchange for a carton of cigarettes and a half gallon of whiskey. The woman who’d purchased Luther had brought him back within two days claiming he wasn’t even smart enough to pull a plow or bait a fish hook, and demanded her payment back. Luther's life was already on a downward spiral. That is, until he realized he had the power to change his own destiny; the power of love and faith, of greatness, which would lead him to becoming the local hero when his hometown needed one the most. A coming of age fantasy tale for the ages, THE WORLD ACCORDING TO LUTHER BIGGS is destined to become a classic.
