Event Details

PJ Purdee is a 14-year-old boy with a restless disposition and a curiosity and intelligence beyond his years.
As a barefoot runner, he's likely to show up almost anywhere. In the
summer of 1950, PJ is finally old enough to do a man’s work, not only
among the truck farms and cotton fields of the prairie, but also in the
cotton gin. While the boy gains acceptance and appreciation, his mother
Belle is in a far different place in her life. She is on the verge of
making a decision that will change her son's future forever.Join
local guest author, Don Michael Flournoy, as we explore his new
historical coming-of-age novel published by Austin University Press.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
