On a red-clay farm in Georgia, he learns all there is to know about cotton-chopping, hog-killing, watermelon-thumping, and mule-handling. School provides a quick course in practical joking, schoolboy crushes, athletic glory, and clandestine sex. But it is Porter’s family— his genteel, patient mother, his swarm of cousins, his snuff-dipping grandmother, and, most of all, his beloved though flawed father—who teaches Porter the painful truths about growing up strong enough to run with the horsemen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The writing is elegant, reflective, and amused.
