"Nashville Lullaby" is an exploration of the devastating poverty of
the 1920s South from the observant eyes of a six-year-old boy
forced to be wise beyond his years. The boy, burdened and sharpened
by a neurological disorder - uncontrollable tics, spasms, and night
terrors - tries to process the desperate poverty of his close knit
but fatherless family in 1926. In Louisiana, his uncle faces off a
group terrorizing a black man, and the boy stumbles on Klan
activity. In Nashville, where they move, he is taunted and brutally
beaten by juvenile bullies because of his condition. And his mother
struggles to find food and coal to keep the family alive.
