Description
"The American memoir of Lee Martin, born into a farming family the same year his father unexpectedly lost both of his hands. Lee's father, once known for "doing a good turn for his neighbors," changed that afternoon in the cornfields to become an embittered, hardened man. "All our lives have private truths," Martin writes, "and the truth about my father was that after his accident he brought a deep and abiding rage into our home. I knew his hooks as intimately as I ever knew anything about my father." Lee's mother, called Beulah for the idyllic land at the end of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, never gave up hope that salvation might one day find their home."--BOOK JACKET.
