In Care of the Conductor

"In Care of the Conductor" read the sign affixed to the little boy's collar. Jimmie pressed his nose against the window, waving goodbye to the only life he knew. Jimmie was only 5-years old when he made that first train trip to visit his mother-one of many "conductors" guiding him through his splintered childhood. Climb aboard and journey back to Newton County, Mississippi, circa 1930. Traverse the red clay roads, the cotton fields, and the dark swamps where Jimmie's family stuck together, caring for each other and their neighbors, too. You'll laugh and cry as you realize that we're all in care of the Great Conductor.
