Produktbeschreibung

Thelma, dies at 19 giving birth to a son, Theron. At six, when the son meets his father for the first time, he learns his mother's death is his fault and his only question is how she died. Looking away, the bereft father mutters, "I loss your mother's help 'n' comfort 'en she died givin' birth ta ya'."

A love story set in rural America and spanning much of the 20th century, Lila & Theron captures the spirit of the American rural experience, as it relates to their personal stories of love and sacrifice.

"Lila and Theron don't imagine themselves poor, nor do they covet what they don't have. They are whole in themselves, and on their land and progress impinges little on their lives."

Lila and Theron plumbs the depth and triumphs of the human spirit in a way now lost in today's obsessive distractions with consumerism and celebrity culture, immersing us in a receding world where neighbors and nature are the gifts and love is inured to hardship.
