Helpful Score: 5
This story is the story of a poor white family growing up in the rural south. Jim Grimsley has a way of making the characters come to life such that you want to find out what happens to them. Unfortunately, this being a "slice-of-live" book, you only get this short glimpse into their lives and then the book is over. The fact that I didn't want it to be done when it was is testament to the story and to the main character, Danny Crell, a hemophiliac son in this dysfunctional family. (Note, for those of you who wanted to continue to read more, like myself, Danny's story continues in Grimsley's novel Comfort and Joy.)
