Cover of Preacher's Boy

Preacher's Boy

Robbie is the son of a preacher in small-town America in 1899. People are saying that the world's going to end at the turn of the century, so Robbie decides that he'd better make the most of his life and have as much fun as possible. But his outrageous behaviour does little to improve people's opinions of him, or his father.
