商品簡介
When Copply Robinson leaves the oppressive Jim Crow South in the 1940s, she finds herself working in the hot fields of Safford, Arizona, picking cotton with other migrants and with her frustrated, philandering husband. Although she forms close friendships with some of the pickers, her life feels thwarted and bleak. But, Copply knows things are not as hopeless as they seem because she has a plan.
One morning, while her husband is sleeping off a drunken binge, she packs up her two small children, grabs a wad of twenty dollar bills she has saved, and drives their car west to Tucson. Life there gets better for her; then it gets worse-forcing her to flee once again.
Picking in High Cotton is the true story of author Shirley Robinson Sprinkles's mother, whose courageous fight to thrive motivates her to never accept poverty and destructive social norms. She is determined to change her destiny and that of her family at every opportunity. Hers is both a timely and a timeless story.
Part one of this book has been adapted to a screenplay titled, High Cotton.
