Explanation Concering Books Mississippi Cotton

It is 1951. Young Jake Conner gets on a bus to visit his cousins in the Mississippi Delta. But when the body of an unknown man is found in the Mississippi River, Jake's summer vacation gets a little more adventurous as he and his cousins snoop around in a mystery that is better left to the grown-ups. "Jake Conner, protagonist and narrator of this coming of age novel, reminds me of Mattie in True Grit and Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird. Sharp eyes tempered with childhood simplicity." Delta Magazine "First time novelist, Paul H. Yarbrough, masterfully transports readers deep into the world of Mississippi Cotton, where life is not as simple as it seems." Julie Cantrell, editor, Southern Literary Review; author, Into the Free "Paul H. Yarbrough has painted wonderful images with his words. His writing brings back so many memories. Even if you didn't grow up in Mississippi, you will enjoy Mississippi Cotton." Mary Ann Mobley Collins Former Miss America, Miss Mississippi

Comment On Out Of Books Mississippi Cotton

Review: Mississippi Cotton is a lighthearted coming-of-age mystery narrated by a group of young boys growing up around the Mississippi Delta in the early 1950's. Paul H.

The genuine southern charm, attention to detail, and engaging story-line, made me feel like I was in Mississippi picking cotton, fishing, and watching crops

It's not often I read a perfect book. The last one was Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy. Mississippi Cotton is perfect. Narrated by Jake Connor, it is set in 1951 in the Mississippi Delta region. Jake is a kid, and he tells about his summer with his Delta cousins, Taylor and Casey, but it's not really a kid's book. It is one adults would enjoy as well as kids. I was transported to the cotton farms of the Delta region, I could hear the characters talk, and my head is still ringing with their

Not much of a plot.

good book, took me a while to get into it....liked that it was written from a young boys perspective.



Set in the early part of the nineteenth century, this engrossing mystery is much more than a coming-of-age novel. It portrays rural southern mores and ideas, emphasizes the importance of hard work in building character, and illustrates the power of family and home. It's often said that the winners write history, and that's true in regards to the War Between the States. I'm a liberal northerner who spent time early on with a southern grandmother. Her older related families, while dedicated

I got this free from Amazon. I didn't realize it is a book for children. Maybe ages 9 through 13 but still read it and enjoyed it. Learned some things too about the south in the early 50's. Had a little mystery and intrigue to it too.
