Description

Following within the long tradition of southern writers, Roy Herron reflects on this book on cultural and personal values, particularly those rooted in and lived within the South. Herron writes vividly about how his life and his circle of relatives are inextricably tied to the South, showing us the special people and events that played the most important roles within the formation of his character and his beliefs.Herron writes about farming, hunting, sports, community, patriotism, and racial discrimination, in addition to circle of relatives, love, and relationships. He writes as a loyal and devoted southerner of the strengths inherent within the people of the South as evidenced of their day-to-day lives. He pays tribute to those individuals, events, and institutions that contributed to shaping his life, and in doing so, he pays tribute to a culture and its values.These stories — in Herron’s words “soul stories” because they’re so on the subject of his heart and center — represent the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of a genuine son of the South.
