Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In Every Day by the Sun, Dean Faulkner Wells recounts the story of the Faulkners of Mississippi, whose legacy includes pioneers, noble and ignoble war veterans, three never-convicted murÂderers, the builder of the first railroad in north Mississippi, the founding president of a bank, an FBI agent, four pilots (all brothers), and a Nobel Prize winner, arguably the most important AmeriÂcan novelist of the twentieth century. She also reveals wonderfully entertaining and intimate stories and anecdotes about her familyâin particular her uncle William, or âPappy,â with whom she shared colorÂful, sometimes utterly frank, sometimes whimsical, conversations and experiences.
Â
           This deeply felt memoir explores the close reÂlationship between Deanâs uncle and her father, Dean Swift Faulkner, a barnstormer killed at age twenty-eight during an air show four months beÂfore she was born. It was William who gave his youngest brother an airplane, and after Deanâs tragic death, William helped to raise his niece. He paid for her education, gave her away when she was married, and maintained a unique relationship with her throughout his life.
          Â
           From the 1920s to the early civil rights era, from Faulknerâs winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature to his death in 1962, Every Day by the Sun explores the changing culture and society of Oxford, MisÂsissippi, while offering a rare glimpse of a notoriÂously private family and an indelible portrait of a national treasure.
