Description
Rodney Crowell's memoir Chinaberry Sidewalks is a tender and uproarious account of his childhood in 1950s Houston. Growing up as the only child of a hard-drinking father and a holy-roller mother, Rodney was exposed to a world of contrasts - one that was both violent and loving, rough-around-the-edges and deeply musical. The story of his youth is woven from memories of his parents' complicated relationship, their love of music, and the freedom of childhood. With vivid descriptions of life in a frontier town, Rodney's memoir is a nostalgic tribute to his parents and the remarkable time and place in which he grew up. A coming-of-age story that reads like a perfect song, Chinaberry Sidewalks is a deeply personal and relatable account of one man's journey towards self-discovery.
