God's Little Acre: A Novel

<b>In the Depression-era Deep South, a destitute farmer struggles to raise a family on his own: The bestselling classic by the author of <i>Tobacco Road</i>.</b><br />   Single father and poor Southern farmer Ty Ty Walden has a plan to save his farm and his family: He will tear his fields apart until he finds gold. While Ty Ty obsesses over his fool’s quest, his sons and daughters search in vain for their own dreams of instant happiness—whether from money, violence, or sex. <i>God’s Little Acre</i> is a classic dark comedy, a satire that lampoons a broken South while holding a light to the toll that poverty takes on the hopes and dreams of the poor themselves. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.
