Having an introduction by Fannie Flagg Writer of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle-Stop Café A book of heat and correct sensation, The Well and the Quarry examines the worthiness of group, charity, family, and wish that people can provide one another throughout a period of difficulty. In a little Alabama coal-mining city throughout the summer of 1931, nine-year-old Tess Moore rests on her back-porch and watches a lady throw an infant into her family’s well with no term. This act of abuse units in-motion a series of events that causes her older brother and Tess Virgie to discover the worthiness of kindness and appear beyond their very own doorway and lending a helping hand. As Tess and Virgie attempt to resolve the secret of the well, a collision places their seven-year-old brother’s life at risk, exposing precisely what types of sacrifices their parents, Albert and Leta, have produced in order to offer their kids a much better life, and the ability of love and concern to supply convenience to those we love.
