Sinopsis

In God?s Acres, six-years-old Bud tells the story, set in the 1950?s, of his family?s relocation from St. Joseph, Missouri to a small farm just outside of town. The twelve-acre homestead represents the idyllic life for Bud?s mother, the story?s central figure- a woman driven by unwavering religious beliefs and a rigid work ethic- but it turns out to be the source of much heartache. ?With an endearing earnestness and bits of laugh-out-loud humor, Bud intertwines signal developments in the lives of his family members with key world events-all of which seems to be of equal importance from his perspective as a child. At the start of each chapter, an adult Bud speaks from the present, closing the circle on a complex tale of family relationships.
