In his own uniquely Southern voice, Reynolds Price tells of his heritage, the people and places that influenced his life and made him who he is. These are his people, ordinary like himself, his talent notwithstanding. Price, simply put, tapped what God gave him. And since God gave no more to him than any other, it is in His glory, a man’s full potential realized. Challenged by cancer, he asks for nothing but to give. His finger at the foundation of humanity, his works serve to remind us of who and what we really are, ordinary people, God’s children.
