In summer 1944, while the allies invade Europe, America buzzes with
activity. On a sharecropper farm near Bennettsville, SC, a family
of seven struggles to deal with the changing world. The landowner
cheats Daddy; Mama's legs are giving out; Frances discovers that
the soldiers and sailors open the world to her; TJ is gay and wants
to move to a big city; Jimmy, the young narrator, sees that the
world is getting much bigger as he fantasizes about the war and
becoming a photographer; Irene is a child, but the farm is not for
her; Lawrence wants to stay, but the war catches him in its claws.
Six of them want desperately to get off the farm, while one wants
nothing more than to stay right where he is. But at what cost?
