Told from the post-depression point of view of a precocious toddler, it clearly shows the misery of life in the hook-worm and poverty-ridden South. These true stories will make the reader laugh aloud, despite the harsh circumstances of the sharecroppers' lives. The R-rated language reflects the grittiness of the situation. The story is told through the eyes of a bright toddler, named Connie, also known as the knee baby. Written in Southern dialect, reminiscent of the style of Eudora Welty, this is poverty and hopelessness at its wittiest. It is a savage song of the South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstance White has been a hellion all her life, and lives in Ruskin, Florida.
