Epigraph
Fair and Tender Ladies

Come all you fair and tender ladies

Be careful how you court young men.

They're like a star in a summer's morning,

First appear and then they're gone.

If I'd a-knowed afore I courted

That love, it was such a killin' crime,

I'd a-locked my heart in a box of golden

and tied it up with a silver line.
Dedication
For Josh and Page
First words
Little Luther Wade just sits out there in the porch swing swaying back and forth with his new suspenders on, a little bitty old shriveled-up man so short that his feet in the cowboy books can't even touch the floor.
