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.
