It happened it did ,I lost my friends and family because I lost faith in myself and God,my wife died a year before even my social and work life were never the same. Then as my search for my soul began I reavelled the United States to other countries in one such place I found they lived off simple things no tv or other such luxury almost like the Amish and in fact simplier then that. They prayed entirely to God they lived off the land around them,wore clothes little. And ate the same I did not see one fat person among them. I ask what they like most they told me peas and string beans go figure so for the next year or so I lived among them they were helpful where the death of my wife was concerned they counsel me in their belief they supported me with mine . I ate peas and repented I ask for forgiveness and my sins .I decided to stay and not return home I called the United States told them I decided to stay my mission was longer then expected too. I actually enjoyed eating peas and string beans every day. At least I won't hear anyone telling me to lose weight or go on a diet again. end
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.
