"Tragedy and trauma often create human hardship. Such is the case for Jasper Henry Lee. Born in Mississippi in 1910 and known to his family and friends as Henry, he loses his right arm in a farming accident in 1943, an event that changes his life forever...this biographical novel tells the story of one man's adjustment after a tragic accident and how the love and commitment in his marriage kept him going in the face of adversity." -- from dust jacket
