A Christmas Memory takes place during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Until he was ten years old, Truman Capote lived with elderly relatives in a small town in rural Alabama. The story is an autobiographical account of those years, especially of his relationship with one of the elderly cousins, Miss Sook Faulk.
