Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
"I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry."
Background
Information
My dad left this little bit of advice for me when I was a teenager. I have tried to remember it and live by it. I trust that you can relate:
If you, your lips would save from slips, these things observe with care
Of whom you speak, to whom you speak, or how or when or where
If you, your ears would save from jeers, these things keep mildly hid
Myself and I, or me and my, or how I do or did.
