About the Author
Jim Rogers writes about his childhood recollections when he spent many days shuttling back and forth between his mother and grandparents on a passenger train and wears a sign that says, "In Care of the Conductor." The book is Rogers' heart-moving boyhood story of growing up on a red clay farm in central Mississippi with grandparents who take him in after his family dissolves.
