Meer over het boek

Tales from Tuckahoe is a collection of stories and poems about a life growing up in a small community in eastern Tennessee, a place called Tuckahoe. A distant land where the simple lessons of life live around every old tree, church, and school yard. And Clayton has captured the joy and the wisdom of growing up in this special place.Here you will meet his dear friend Henry, weep for Vera in her rocking chair, laugh at the War with Sockless. He will share with you his boyhood hiding place, and the joy of turning on the light. You will visit the Old Rock Hole, the river bank, and spend a day at Smith School. You will learn about the tenderness of home and feel his adoration for his mother. Love and love songs are plentiful, and they will strike deep into your heart. You will feel the full wrath of a raging storm rolling over the mountain, feel the power of the Book, and the love at being Papaw.
