The Pecan Man
christylisty avatar reviewed on + 45 more book reviews


A window hired a black homeless man to mow her lawn. This begins a secret that will last for 22 years and include his time in prison in prison for murder and her maid's children who grow up in her house. It shows the harshness toward blacks in the South in the '70s and the humanity that can still exist. A rather short book that brought to mind times I lived through.
