Synopsis

In Decatur, Georgia, in the summer of 1947, a ten-year-old boy is growing up on Adair Street. He's playing baseball with the neighborhood kids, gobbling up breakfasts of bacon and biscuits, and sneaking into town to catch the latest John Wayne movie. He's also sorting out who he wants to become. In a world where the Bible and bigotry are sometimes overwhelming, and success is measured by the size of your front porch, how do you decide what's really important? Two women offer competing visions of an ideal character: a neighboring mother figure who is also more than a mother and the beguiling teenage girl he meets in the woods. In one week, the boy will experience things he could have never dreamed and come to see what was once intimately familiar as foreign. It's a week in which not much really happens-but what does changes the boy irrevocably.
