There Whippoorwills in the Night is the tale of boys growing up in Louisiana during the post-war years. Life was hard, and the people in the story are poor, but the young boys are full of fun until a friend's father is murdered. This galvanizes the boys to try to bring the killers to justice. This is also the story of the migration from the farms to the cities after World War II. Men who had fought in the war were no longer happy slaving on the farms and were searching for a better life. There were no radios, televisions or telephones, and church was where people found out about their neighbors. It is a story of young boys enjoying life through their imagination, and playing at things they learned about through the movies they seldom attended but enjoyed immensely. Hunting and fishing for table fare and for fun, they enjoyed their daily life in the country. They met daily life with humor and tried to turn all of their chores into ways to have fun. Although they were small boys, they were remarkably self-sufficient. They always knew where to find wild berries and fruit to pick for jelly. They knew where the best rabbit and squirrel hunting was to be found and how to harvest them when needed. The boys team up with the sheriff to find and bring to justice the men who killed their friend's father, only to see justice take a strange twist.
