Ecology of a Cracker Childhood

Ecology of a Cracker Childhood

Author(s): Janisse Ray

Location(s): Georgia

Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs

Era(s): 1960s-1970s

Ray’s Ecology of a Cracker Childhood is one of those treasures in memoir that make you realize that truth can be as well-written, and as fascinating, as fiction. Ecology of a Cracker Childhood tells Ray’s story of growing up in an evangelical household in a junkyard along Highway 1 in south Georgia. In the book, she weaves the stories of the vanishing Cracker population with that of a dying ecosystem: the vanishing longleaf pine forests. A powerful read.
