SOUNDER by William H. Armstrong is set in the 19th-century American
South. It is the story a poor African-American sharecropping
family, their faithful dog, Sounder, and the eldest boy's efforts
to learn how to read and help his mother to support the family
after his father is arrested for stealing a ham. When Sounder
chases after the Sheriff's deputies he is shot and he crawls away,
seemingly to die. For weeks the boy thinks that he has lost both
his father and his dog, but then Sounder comes back, lame and
missing an ear. The boy continues to search for his father, until a
few years later the father returns home, disabled from a quarry
accident. Reunited at last, the father and Sounder go on one final
hunting trip together...
