Download The Beet Fields: Memories of a Sixteenth Summer AudioBook Free
For a 16-year-old young man out in the world alone for the first time, every day is an education in the hard work and boredom of migrant labor; every day shows him something more about a friendly relationship, or food cravings, or profanity, or lust - always lust. He learns how a texas holdem game, or hitching a trip, can turn deadly. He discovers the trick sadness and generosity found on a depressed farm in the middle of nowhere. Then he joins up with a carnival and becomes a grunt, owning a trip and shilling for the geek show. He's living the hard carny life and beginning to see the world through carny eyes. He's tough. Cynical. By the end of the summertime he's confident he knows it all. Until he complies with Ruby.
