A beautiful book I first read in elementary school. As an adult, I sobbed just as hard as I did as a kid (even already knowing the story). Rawls was a fascinating dude and wrote an incredible book that should be widely read. The realities of growing up in very rural areas in the mid-twentieth century are so removed from my own life that I find them fascinating. I'd be curious to know how those who had similar upbringings react to this book.
