Home on the Double Bayou - Memories of an East Texas Ranch

Klappentext The memoir of a man's boyhood on a ranch in east Texas. Zusammenfassung Once again, through a boy's eyes, the author sees a winter sky darkened with geese and ducks, a kitchen stove glowing with cheerful warmth, Aunt May strolling in her flower garden, moonlight filtering through treetops to cast patches of white light on a sandy woodland road. This title tells the story of his boyhood.
