Fiction. Hidden away in the nooks and crannies of American literature there are a number of overlooked masterpieces. One of these, SOME SWEET DAY, is an unrelenting portrait of life in a small town on the Texas prairie during World War II.
"It is an evocative, painful and lovely book that captures the immediacy and bewilderment of a child facing harsh imponderables for the first time."—Publishers Weekly
