Embarrassed to admit that this is the only John Grisham I've ever read. I thought it was good. This is not his usual lawyer or courtroom type of book. This book takes place in 1952, and tells the story of one summer on a farm in Arkansas, and how the migrant farm workers that come to stay and help affect a young boy.
