Synopsis
A story to read, enjoy, and ponder: for the enjoyment of a story, the facts of history, and truths of living. "We be a'needing' better government in this area." The words still rang in Lige's ears as he turned his mule and headed up the holler. Chick Allen had just told him the constable had sent word for them to, "Cut the ropes and let Rosco loose. That they weren't aiming to carry him halfway across the state." Why, they had had Rosco tied up and ready for the law to pack off, and they wouldn't do a thing. Seven months later Lige was summonsed to court over to Jackson, fifty miles away, because of the murder case. It was paining Lige to leave Clarie with the six children and it being planting time. At best, it would be five days for going out and back, and a day for court. To top it off, Lige knew there was trouble brewing in their home. What was a man to do? The reader is allowed to feel the day to day conflicts and rewards of mother and homemaker Clarie, the strength and challenges of Lige, as citizen, husband and father, and what it is like growing up at the turn of the century especially in the eyes of nine-year-old Sprout. For reasons of her own, Clarie has never whipped this son and his ill-behavior is a sore spot with siblings. Clarie tries to avoid looking squarely at the outcome of her child, though incident after incident alarm her. Gently the father awakens Clarie to the God-given task of training Sprout (like the others) to be a man of worth. Highly historical, the story deals with the need of government in the back woods, challenges of raising a family, and the intrusion of the outsiders. The book will captivate readers of all ages as they follow the Pratt family who live 'at the head of the holler'.
