Imagine a little boy, growing up in the decade of the 1930-40's. In a very rural area, his dad did what he could to take care of his family. Down yonder by the river is where they lived and survived sometimes harsh experiences.The little boy learned early to accept life's hardships and somehow, to trust God through them all. He learned how to be strong in the cotton fields and how to be a man before he was twelve.His story is a compelling adventure, filled with heart warming, and sometimes heart breaking, moments.
