It all takes place in rural Arkansas in 1952 and is centered on the Chandler farm and migrant workers during harvest time. The story is narrated by 7 year old Luke Chandler. This is a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie.

		Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
		A classic and I loved it. It's a love story, but it deals a lot with the barriers and limits of love. It's a fun read but also one that makes you step back and think of how much we value materialistic items.

		Chasing Harry Winston
		An excellent book if you're looking for a light read for travel, vacation, or simple leasure reading. The book follows three thirty-something women- one newly engaged, the other one a heavy monogamist, and the other a single Brazilian model who falls in love. Despite the pithy preconceptions, the book is actually really easy to read, holds attention from start to finish, and helps the reader gain a new and refreshing perspective on their life and current relationship status-whatever that may be. As a lover of classic literature, this book was a big jump for me, and I loved it!
