A Painted House - Rumah Bercat Putih

---

The story is told through the eyes of seven-year-old Luke Chandler, who lives with his parents and grandparents on a cotton farm in Black Oak, Arkansas. Life is grueling, defined by the seasonal rhythm of picking cotton, the stifling summer heat, and the constant struggle for a successful harvest.

The title refers to the family's house—one of the few in the area that is painted—which serves as a symbol of their pride and relative stability in a world of subsistence farming. The narrative captures the tension of the summer harvest as the Chandlers hire a group of "hill people" and Mexican migrant workers to help. As Luke observes the interactions between these different groups, he witnesses secrets, rivalries, and the harsh realities of adult life that shatter his innocent worldview. The novel culminates in a dramatic climax during the harvest that changes the trajectory of his family's life forever.
