Sunday Wild Child

Description

Sunday Wild Child captures the point of view of the mother as well as that of the daughter in this homespun tale of small town Florida life of the 40s and early 50s. It depicts a powerful, but disturbing picture of poverty, racism and juvenile cruelty. On the other hand, it showcases the strength of will to overcome those conditions through perseverance.

“Life’s like going up the smooth side of a mountain. Nothing to grab onto to help you to the top.”

Well, hell, I think, Elijah ain’t no daddy, so she ought not to be telling him scat.
