Wright Sanders – the fourth of seven children – stoically bears the burden of the ‘invisible, middle child’ while working full-time on his family’s farm in Dogwood Mudhole, Tennessee. Amidst the constant demands of caring for pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, and cattle, he still carves out time to carefully cultivate his skills in the sarcastic arts and apply them to his descriptions of his charges on the farm. Wright enjoys macramé, long, shoe-removing chases in muddy pens and removes his dirty carcass to nearby Lodi every evening where he lives with his wife, Jena, and their 2.8 children.
Justin Sanders is the second of seven children. Wright’s older brother, convinced that he knows everything, Justin daily strives to redefine the phrase ‘the blind leading the blind’. Justin enjoys domineering lectures and restarting nearly completed projects. He lives on the farm with his wife, Ellen, and their four children, who he affectionately refers to as “cheap labour”.
