A collection of semi-flash fiction from Jeff Landon.

"Under the cover of darkness in 1962, as an embryonic Jeff Batton was whisked away by his brothel-owning grandmother and soon-to-be birth mother to a home for unwed mothers in Savannah, Georgia. After he was put up for adoption (displayed in a supermarket delicatessen case, as he recalls it), Jeff's new parents arrived in the form of Mr. and Mrs. Batton. Jo Ann adhered to the standards of Emily Post and the Bible (in that order), and Curtis was a third-generation Georgia farmer and true Southerner who filled his tea glass with something stronger each night. Jeff's new home: a seven-hundred-acre peanut and tobacco farm so far from town that they had to pipe in sunshine. Coming of age during the civil rights movement, Jeff experiences both the Tom Sawyer existence of idyllic barefoot freedom-including a deep friendship with a kid from the other side of the tracks-and blatant racism at home, along with the confusion and angst of figuring out who he was and how he fit into this world." --
