Synopsis:
Racial tension, a forbidden love affair, and murder are seen through the eyes of Luke Chandler, a seven-year-old boy in a 1950s southern cotton-farming community...
Until that September of 1952, Luke Chandler had never kept a secret or told a single lie. But in the long, hot summer of his seventh year, two groups of migrant workers U2014 and two very dangerous men U2014 came through the Arkansas Delta to work the Chandler cotton farm.
And suddenly mysteries are flooding LukeU2019s world.
A brutal murder leaves the town seething in gossip and suspicion. A beautiful young woman ignites forbidden passions. A fatherless baby is born ... and someone has begun furtively painting the bare clapboards of the Chandler farmhouse, slowly, painstakingly, bathing the run-down structure in gleaming white.
And as young Luke watches the world around him, he unravels secrets that could shatter lives U2014 and change his family and his town forever....
