When Frank Money joined the army to escape his too-small world, he left behind his cherished and fragile little sister, Cee. After the war, he journeys to his native Georgia with a renewed sense of purpose in search of his sister, but it becomes clear that their troubles began well before their wartime separation. Together, they return to their rural hometown of Lotus, where buried secrets are unearthed and where Frank learns at last what it means to be a man, what it takes to heal, and — above all — what it means to come home.
When I started to write about this book (that I am currently still reading), I found two entirely different covers. The first one makes me think of the old saying, "Home is where you hang our hat." The other cover makes me think of ... nothing related to home. Yet that's the version I found in our Crown Center library.
Musing: When I write about a book on this book blog, is it ethical to show a cover that is not the version I have in hand? Hmmm, I have to think about that. I mean, I really must MUSE about that a bit more. What do you think?
