In My Father's House by James Street
The Abernathy family lives in rural Mississippi, farming cotton and growing vegetables, with kitchens full of sweet potato pie and muscadine preserves. Life is serene if folks follow the rules and heed nature's signals, but many codes are unspoken. When those laws are violated, men are obliged to abide by the code even if it means doing the unthinkable. Hobson leads his household with firmness while Lavinia offers wisdom, their daughter Teenie dreams of marrying Woody and Little Hob prepares to assume man's responsibilities.
