Product Description
The stories in Barker Ten Mile string together the boyhood adventures of a certain Chris Musselwhite - stories he swears are true, and not the least bit stretched. Perhaps we can give him the benefit of the doubt as he sagely never casts himself the hero. How else could we stand for such extravagant, fantastical accounts of Christmas in July, of a glass eye popped out for any paying schoolboy, of a place you can no longer find on the map? How else could we believe the wonder and danger and skin-of-your-teeth luck he knew on a green patch of earth, on the edge of a changing world? Read to find out.
Customer Reviews
When my friend Chris Musselwhite notified folks that he had just published a book of his memoirs from growing up on a farm in rural eastern North Carolina, I expressed my interest and he sent a copy as a gift. I started reading it because he is my friend, but then couldn't put it down because it was so interesting and well-written. When it was my turn to select a book for my book club, this is the one I chose. None of the book club members know Chris, but they all loved the book, and some of them said that it was their favorite of all the books we had read that year. The book prompted great discussion of our own childhood memories, and several people also said that it encouraged them to start writing down their own stories for their grandchildren. This book is a great read for folks of all ages, beautifully written, and full of humor and down-home wisdom and insights.
