      The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The cotton, however, was waist high to my father, almost over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. This title tells boy's journey from innocence to experience.

      In rural Arkansas, seven-year-old farm boy Luke Chandler lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents.

      When the cotton is ready to be harvested, the Chandlers hire a group of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it.

      For six weeks the group pick cotton, battling the heat, rain, fatigue, and sometimes each other. During this time, Luke sees and hears things no seven-year-old should witness.

      Can he keep the secrets that could threaten his family''s business and change their lives forever?

      A Painted House is a moving story of one boy''s journey from innocence to experience, drawn from the personal experience of legendary legal thriller author John Grisham.
