A chronicle of the final decline of a dysfunctional poor white family in rural Georgia. Exhorted by their patriarch Ty Ty, the Waldens ruin their land by digging it up in search of legendary gold from the glory days of the Walden clan. The frenzied Ty Ty drives his extended family to dig and find it - but God's little acre must not be touched. There is not only madness and delusion - there's complex sexual entanglements and betrayals that lead to a murder within the family to complete its dissolution. First published in 1933, God's Little Acre was censured by the Georgia Literary Commission, banned in Boston, and once led the all-time best-seller list, with more than ten million copies in print.
