Beschreibung:
A Season of Life is based on the chronology of tending a crop of flue-cured tobacco in the sixties and seventies from the seedbed to the market. It is told from the perspective of a young man dealing with divorce, adjusting to a blended family, and confronting racism and prejudice. Sowers uses a mix of humor and personal anecdotes to engage the reader as he takes you through the process of farming tobacco. Those who grew up working in tobacco, and those interested in rural life and the period, will want to read A Season of Life.Five boys could be a basketball team, but in the case of the Sowers family, it made for the beginning of a labor force. They worked and played hard! Prepare to laugh and cry as you read.
