A child describes her experiences growing up in rural America in the 1940's and 50's. When she is just three years old, she witnesses a crime that she cannot understand and spends much of her time trying to figure things out. The family secret keeps the reader guessing and turning pages to the very end. Masterfully, Sandra Williams brings together a delightful story full of humor, tragedy, and mystery that is enjoyable for young and old. Older adults will relive memories from their own past, while the children will be amused at the naivete of the country people and the innocence of the children. They will find greater meaning in American culture as they discover how a great many things were accomplished just sixty years ago without the aid of computers and modern conveniences. They will be amazed at just how primitive we were and still are in some remote locations right here in America.
