House Jackson joins Wiles' earlier characters, Ruby and Comfort to round out a trio of stories distinctly Southern and truly typical of childhood in Southern families. However, childhood is not all sweetness and light and House has problems that nag at him as he tries to sort out his place with his friends and his need to be a part of the community's history. The answer is all-American baseball. Join House as he represents the best of Southern men and revisit Ruby and Comfort to get a true picture of what ties Southerners so strongly to their surroundings and makes us all kin.
