''Pshaw, It's Me Grandson''

About the Book

A fly-on-the-wall account of making a television show, and a great examination of country living in the first half of the twentieth century, “PSHAW, IT’S ME GRANDSON” revolves around the relationship between a boy and his grandfather. When Clay is cast as a regular in the TV series Christy, his grandfather Clifton serves as his on-set guardian. The series is set in a poor farm community, which is eerily similar to the one where Clifton grew up. Being on the set of the show provides a dramatic transformation for both, as Clay comes of age and Clifton comes to terms with his past.
