I was basically a late term miscarriage born by c section at 6 and 3/4 months old. 5 times I should have died. I am and always have lived on borrowed time. I was kept alive in an incubator by the doctors until I weighed enough and developed enough to survive outside the incubator. I was always a sickly child and was small. The other kids beat up and bullied on me. All my life, through school where I excelled in academics I was beaten up and bullied on. I was put down by the kids who wanted to be bad and the rich kids who thought they were the last word in society. I was bullied in the Navy, In college, at work and in the State Defense Force where I spoke up for the troops and inadvertently caused 3 generals to be fi red after a mission of mercy from a tornado in my hometown started going awry. I had to leave the State Defense Force under duress from the Commanding General. I now have been black listed and no one remembers the good I tried to do while in uniform. I now live in fear for my family and myself. This book is to serve as a journal and as a warning of how diffi cult, cruel and ugly life can be sometimes.

It will inspire those who read it to try harder to improve themselves and the world they now live in. The world cannot advance as a people socially if we only dwell on the triumphs of yesterday do not know of or take heed of the sins and mistakes of the past.

Book Description
In the summer of 1978, the B-52's conquered the New York underground. A year later, the band's self-titled debut album burst onto the Billboard charts, capturing the imagination of fans and music critics worldwide. The fact that the group had formed in the sleepy southern college town of Athens, Georgia, only increased the fascination. Soon, more Athens bands followed the B-52's into the vanguard of the new American music that would come to be known as "alternative," including R.E.M., who catapulted over the course of the 1980s to the top of the musical mainstream. As acts like the B-52's, R.E.M., and Pylon drew the eyes of New York tastemakers southward, they discovered in Athens an unexpected mecca of music, experimental art, DIY spirit, and progressive politics--a creative underground as vibrant as any to be found in the country's major cities. In Athens in the eighties, if you were young and willing to live without much money, anything seemed possible. Cool Town reveals the passion, vitality, and enduring significance of a bohemian scene that became a model for others to follow. Grace Elizabeth Hale experienced the Athens scene as a student, small-business owner, and band member. Blending personal recollection with a historian's eye, she reconstructs the networks of bands, artists, and friends that drew on the things at hand to make a new art of the possible, transforming American culture along the way. In a story full of music and brimming with hope, Hale shows how an unlikely cast of characters in an unlikely place made a surprising and beautiful new world.

Stuart Woods’s Edgar Award-winning debut novel—a classic American mystery saga about three generations of lawmen tangled in a web of passion, secrets, destiny, and murder in their small Southern town...

It is a crime too horrific to be ignored, the first of many that will span four decades—embroiling three police chiefs in a remarkable manhunt that will expose the hatreds, fear, and festering wounds beneath the surface of their sleepy God-fearing community.

Book Description
When the bustle of a city slows, towns dissolve into abandoned buildings or return to woods and crumble into the North Georgia clay. In 1832, Auraria was one of the sites of the original American gold rush. The remains of numerous towns dot the landscape - pockets of life that were lost to fire or drowned by the water of civic works projects. Cassville was a booming educational and cultural epicenter until 1864. Allatoona found its identity as a railroad town. Author and professor Lisa M. Russell unearths the forgotten towns of North Georgia.

Book Description
What fun it is to meet the sometimes fascinating, sometimes famous, sometimes common, sometimes slightly off center characters of a small town. The words and actions of the unique people as well as the events revealed in these pages may produce unbelief, laughter, amazement, and perhaps even a bit of pain at times, but never boredom. A town, its people and its events should not be forgotten. Our children and grandchildren along with their children should have at least some knowledge of our town's past. They need to know of the events with broad implications as well as those that might be considered insignificant because they all blend together to make a town what it has become. One with no knowledge of Adairsville before exposure to this book or one who has lived in the little North Georgia town for years, will likely come away from these pages with a new found appreciation of the little Norman Rockwell town called "Adairsville." Danny Pelfrey is the Minister of First Christian Church in Adairsville, Georgia. He is the author of ONE-WAY CHOICES IN A WRONG-WAY WORLD and the co-author with his wife, Wanda, of an inspirational mystery novel entitled, OUT OF THE DEPTHS. For several years he wrote a local newspaper column about growing up in Adairsville While Pelfrey compiled and edited LIFE IN ADAIRSVILLE, he is in order of text contribution the lesser of the three writers. The other two contributors are Alice Butler Howard (1894-1991) and Dan Bowdoin (1923-2009), both talented people with a vast knowledge of their hometown who were greatly admired by Pelfrey and the people of Adairsville, Georgia."
