Produktbeschreibung
Narrating his way through post-world-war South Carolina's upstate during the '40s and '50s, Bowman colors the landscape of a proud, tough people, and he adapts, as he journeys through the Piedmont as a young boy and then as a teenager, who sees the good in every town along his family's trek, and who flounders and often trails the pack but finds his way with the help of family, friends and mentors. With anecdotes both humorous and moving, Buddy muses on everything from his love of hotdogs to his fear of math, from mill village sports to puberty's embarrassments. Not reverence for the past but an appreciation of what the past has given. Bowman may have been barefoot through the mill and hill country, but he left tracks of good humor, gratitude and hope.
