Requiem for a Redneck
by John P. Schulz

Requiem for a Redneck is a sometimes wild, sometimes funny, and sometimes sensitive picture of redneck doings in the north Georgia mountains. The stories will make you laugh, make you cry, and make the ladies go “awwww.”

Requiem for a Redneck presents you with a collection of stories that revolve around the death of Harce. You will meet John the Plant Man, the narrator who tells the stories from an insider's point of view. You will meet Harce, the sawmill operator who can build anything, Louann, Harce’s “old lady,” his friends Kickstand, Greg the preacher, and many more unique characters. And you will meet Bud, who is one of the greatest unheralded humorists in the redneck countryside.
 
Requiem for a Redneck has been written with short chapters which invite the reader to move on and see what happens next. It is priced at the cost of one hour's labor for most of the characters.
  
Without preaching, Requiem for a Redneck deals with drug and alcohol abuse and with contractual morality. The book deals with adapting to life in the modern world through the use of a set of creative coping devices. The book presents a humorous, insightful, and compellingly sensitive picture of a hidden world.

A Life In Textiles
by Bill Barker

A chronicle of fifty years in the American textile industry.

Bill Cobb writes of A Life in Textiles:

 

I don’t know if I’ve ever enjoyed reading anything as much as I did your soft cover book of your memoirs of your life in textiles. I never put it down once I started reading it until I had finished.

 

You projected me right into your journey through your textile career.

 

I was familiar with many of the names in your book. So many memories were rekindled in my mind, having been around and always hearing textile talk.

 

You certainly have a way with words and projecting a person into your journey with you.

 

Having lived in four towns in Alabama and three in Georgia before going to Trion in the sixth grade, believe me, I could identify with your moves for promotion in your textile life.

 

You and Daddy’s textile life paralleled each other to make your advancements. You two were certainly self-made men that weren’t too scared of the moves to make your promotions. Congratulations!

 

Bill, I would be remiss not to thank you for the kind words you had for my father.

 

You did a wonderful job of getting your expression put into words to make for such interesting reading.

 

Best Regards

Bill Cobb

(son of Clyde Cobb)

TWO SONS TWICE BORN   a mother's memoir
by Hilda Atkins Moore                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                           
The story of one mother's tragedy and her resulting search for and attainment of spiritual peace.

One of the marks of a good book to me is reading a chapter, then wanting to go back and reread it, to make sure you absorb all the nuances, the atmosphere, the flow. Two Sons Twice Born is that kind of book.
