Rye Hill

by Robin Cannon

Young Skeet LeMay and his parents are migrant workers who move from one place to the next in search of work. After they settle on a large farm where Skeet's father has been hired to pick peaches in the orchard, the young boy witnesses something horrific and perverse, changing his life forever. Caught between a bitter father who is despic-able to the core and a gentle, loving mother who has ac-quiesced to her husband's abusive ways, Skeet must di-rect his own fate as he embarks on a journey to Rye Hill, following the one thing his father never had...a moral compass.
