Richard Keith Turnipseed's DELTA RICH charts a particularly eventful Thanksgiving-through-New Year's stretch in the life of The fabled MacFarlane family of Bayard, Mississippi —an influential family of Delta cotton planters in the mid 1980's. Rich in lyrical passages that bring alive the stark beauty of the Delta's broad cotton fields and cypress-lined bayous during and after the harvest, it also delivers *all* the disappointments, betrayals, and loyalties ever in need of shoring up that are the making and breaking of a proud, powerful family. Reaching through three generations of MacFarlanes to tap their struggles to live up to their legacy and into their own dreams, DELTA RICH tells a powerful, compelling tale of pride, hope, love, and disappointment.
