In this coming-of-age story, Porter Osbourne Jr. is a precocious, sensitive, and rambunctious boy trying to make it through adolescence during the Depression. 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. \"The writing is elegant, reflective, and amused. Mr. Sams is a storyteller sure of his audience . . . gifted with perfect timing.\"--The New York Times Book Review \"Remarkable both for its humor and its sustained and detailed picture of a mischievous Southern farmboy's life during the Great Depression.\"--The Washington Post","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53664014860630,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780140072747_1_33817c35-230d-4b88-b350-3a0a9d57ae99.jpg?v=1778789076","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/ferrol-sams-run-with-the-horsemen-9780140072747","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
