Summary "Lightnin'" by Frank Bacon is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Bill Jones, affectionately known as Lightnin' Bill, who is an easygoing, humorous man that has an uncanny way of entertaining those around him with his tall tales. Despite his carefree attitude towards life, he faces the harsh reality of his family's financial struggles, and the narrative explores his relationships with his wife, Mrs. Jones, and their adopted daughter, Millie, against the backdrop of their attempts to turn their home into a hotel. The opening of the book introduces Bill Jones in a typical day as he meanders through his town, attempting to avoid confronting issues at home. As he interacts with various characters, including his beloved family and close neighbor, John Marvin, it becomes evident that he possesses a cleverness that is often underestimated by those around him. Bill is clearly torn between his innate laziness and the tremors of responsibility as his family faces a critical moment that may force him to step up. The first chapter sets the stage for exploring the dynamics among the characters and introduces the pressing financial challenges that will drive the plot forward. Bill's humorous disposition is juxtaposed against the looming necessity for change and decision-making, creating a compelling mix of comedy and drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
