The Knee Baby is an honest, fearless look at life on an eastern North Carolina tobacco farm during the Eisenhower and Kennedy Administrations. Told from the post-depression point of view of a precocious toddler, it clearly shows the misery of life in the hook-worm and poverty-ridden South. These true stories will make the reader laugh aloud, despite the harsh circumstances of the sharecroppers' lives. The R-rated language reflects the grittiness of the situation. The story is told through the eyes of a bright toddler, named Connie, also known as the knee baby. Written in Southern dialect, reminiscent of the style of Eudora Welty, this is poverty and hopelessness at its wittiest. It is a savage song of the South.

Constance White has been a hellion all her life, and lives in Ruskin, Florida. She has been writing short stories, poems, and song lyrics since age nine. She has written 18 book manuscripts thus far, and has decided to publish these stories for anyone interested in learning the truth about growing up on a southern tobacco farm, as the youngest of five. These stories were primarily written to enlighten her younger relatives concerning the truth of her upbringing. She promises you sumbitches she quit swearing as an adult.
