Review this book!
Jay Follet, the father of a family in Knoxville, goes to visit his ailing father, who has suffered a heart attack. On his return trip, he is killed in an auto accident. The remainder of the novel examines the reaction of his wife, his 4-year-old daughter, and especially his 6-year-old son as they prepare for a final farewell. This book was published posthumously in 1957, from Agee's unfinished manuscript.
