"In a rambling but effective manner, William Howly recalls the story of his odd friend, Arden Quadberry. They first meet by accident. Seeking to punish a nearby black family for what he believes was the savage treatment of a pig, William and another boy, Radcleve, shell the black family's home with Radcleve's homemade mortar. The shells, actually batteries, fall short, landing on the house occupied by the Quadberrys."
