More DescriptionIn thirty essays, "Songs of the South; Letters to My Children about Faith, Family, and Growing Up in the South" describe the challenges, failures and victories of the children of what has become known as 'the greatest generation', two decades sandwiched between the national and familial solidarity that closed WW II and the radical dissimulation that marked the Vietnam War era.

For its youth, it created a unique gridiron upon which the agrarian and industrial lifestyles met to experience one of, if not the greatest and most memorable eras of American history. "Songs of the South" gives a humorous, factual, and personal perspective of a part of America known as the 'South', in which a strong relationship between the institutions of faith and family, and politics and religion created mucilage that coalesced into a strong and determined faith and polity still believed and practiced to this day.
