"A Painted House, by John Grisham, is a beautiful book. The story is told from the perspective of seven year old Luke Chandler, a young lad who lives to please his family, love his God, be a good Baptist, but most importantly, grow up to play for the St Louis Cardinals...Special mention must be made of the ending. It was one of the most moving, emotional and hard to read, and yet perfect finishes to a book i have ever read. A family finds itself at a dead end and yet by making a tough choice they will live through some more tough times but come out on top later on. John Grisham, you have written a classic , a masterpiece, in fact A PAINTED HOUSE is a book for the ages. I thank you for writing this book and everyone who is lucky enough to come across it will thank you, as well."  - Amazon Customer Reviews

"The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with three weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist-high to my father, over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a "good crop."

Thus begins the new novel from John Grisham, a story inspired by his own childhood in rural Arkansas. The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it.

For six weeks they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and sometimes each other. As the weeks pass Luke sees and hears things no seven-year-old could possibly be prepared for, and he finds himself keeping secrets that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the Chandlers forever.
