In South Carolina, a croker sack is any big cloth sack. When opened, it sometimes reveals more than expected, as do these deceptively simple narratives about fishing trips, flora and fauna, and memories of the past. Observing a snapping turtle, recounting the old age and death of a hunting dog, or talking with neighbors who shot a moose and hung it in their garage, Franklin Burroughs reflects on how human and natural histories interconnect. His writing is clear and still as a pond, and his distinctive and evocative voice resonates through the details.

Rarely are we invited to look behind the curtain and get such a revealing glimpse of real life with all its struggles and pain. Dr. Burroughs shares himself with authenticity and wise reflection. His journey shows us that it is possible to discover love, purpose, friendship and even joy in unexpected places. This is a memoir for anyone interested in learning about overcoming the adversities presented in childhood.
