About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
In a time before washing machines, “wash day” ate up untold hours. Hog-slaughtering time was practically a holiday. And the biggest law-enforcement problem was the endless battle over bootlegging.
These were the years following World War II in Sandy Hook, Miss. Through the Eyes of a Child captures the remarkable way of life for Lennie Rankin Mills as she grows up the youngest of nine children on a cotton farm in this southern Mississippi town from 1946 through the sixties. It was a period characterized by hardship, privation and poverty—but also incredible joy, pride and accomplishment.
With a keen eye for detail and sharp ear for dialogue, Mills recalls a memorable cast of characters with a dash of Southern humor. There’s Granny, in her late eighties, “who could cuss a blue streak” with the best of them, and Uncle Bubba, a purveyor of illegal booze and a very bad attitude. But Mills also provides an honest look at the complex and sometimes surprising racial attitudes of the post-war South. Through it all, Mills paints one of the most accurate portraits yet of a bygone era where electricity was still novel, people still settled their scores with guns and the most important activity of the week was the family gathering.
Deftly constructed at 152 pages, Through the Eyes of a Child is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Nonfiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Through the Eyes of a Child meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95.
Additionally, Through the Eyes of a Child can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
