In “God’s Acres,” six-year-old Bud tells the story, set in the 1950s, of his family’s relocation from St. Joseph, Missouri, to a small farm just outside of town. That 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 endearing earnestness and bits of laugh-out humor, Bud intertwines signal developments in the lives of his family members with key world events. Published by PenUltimate Press of St. Louis, Missouri, “God’s Acres” won the 2011 Fiction Award from the Oklahoma Center for the Book.
