Southern Roots run deep. And they survive drought, flood, Depression, and war. Here you will read about one Southern family's extraordinary roots, and how they gave life, joy, and purpose to one man.  In Southern Roots, author Jimmy F. Blackmon shares memories of his family and his boyhood in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains in Northwest Georgia.  "Jimmy Blackmon is an American warrior in the best sense of the word. He has gone a long way in this world, but he has never forgotten that the red clay of his beloved Gordon County, Georgia is where it began and where his heart remains. His is a story of good times, good people and good memories. His is a story best told by a Southerner. Blackmon tells it well." --Dick Yarbrough - author and syndicated columnist  "Just when you think all the honest writers who captured all the great regions of this country have disappeared and too much American writing these days is shallow stuff, off key, set in the land of nowhere, a writer like Jimmy Blackmon crops up in that fertile literary soil of the South-Wendell Berry, Reynolds Price, Eudora Welty, Faulkner, Harper Lee, Walker Percy and others-reminding us again of the verities and virtues of the true tale, told by a man rooted in place, who sings the South like a hymn. You will find your own voice joining in, page after page." -- Norbert Blei, author of the Door County trilogy and other works

Memoirs

<p>Families don't just happen-they are made. And this is nowhere more evident than in adoptive families. Adoption can be a joyous, frustrating, uplifting, disheartening, frightening and exhilirating experience. Here, one adoptive mother tells the story of how she and her husband-and friends-formed their beautiful family. Everything In Its Own Time speaks to those who long for children but do not have them, for whatever reason, and reminds us all that, no matter how we strive, everything happens in its own time. "(A)n honest reflection of one family's quest to complete itself. Part memoir, raw and reflective; part guidebook for potential adoptive parents and birth parents alike; part tale of courage, love, divinity and direction. Ms. Falco does not leave any stone unturned in her detailed description of their family-forming odyssey. Humorous, gut-wrenching and informative." -Leslie Foge, MA, MFT, Adoption specialist and co-author of The Third Choice: A Woman's Guide To Placing a Child for Adoption "The author... describes the creation, with her husband, of their larger-than-usual family, and the struggle to knit them all together into one loving, noisy, happy, and precious group."-Melissa Fay Greene, author of Praying for Sheetrock and There Is No Me Without You</p>
