About This Book

In this irresistible coming-of-age narrative picturing the southern wilderness at the turn of the twentieth century, a boy attempts to preserve his beloved backwoods homeland from sawmills and land developers. As civilization encroaches upon this primeval Mississippi Delta landscape filled with canebrakes, panthers, alligators, bears, and men with pistols, young Shim Govan sees heartbreak ahead.
