This "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentation is based on John Grisham's New York Times best-selling novel. The coming of age drama, set in the 1950s, is seen through the eyes of a young boy who is part of a struggling extended-family of cotton farmers during an especially trying harvest season in the Arkansas Delta. Although it is not strictly autobiographical, this drama draws on Grisham's own childhood experiences in rural Arkansas.
Ten-year-old Luke Chandler has happily lived his life with his grandfather, Pappy Chandler, his grandmother, Gran, his father, Jesse, and his mother, Kathleen, in a small farmhouse in the cotton fields. In many ways, however, this particular harvest season ends up becoming a defining time for Luke and his loving family as they try to earn their meager annual income while attempting to co-exist with their sometimes hot-headed migrant worker boarders.
