Beschreibung

Barefoot & Naked on the Banks of the Altamaha River, a fictional anthology with the main character based on the author's and other women's life in the deep- south. The anthology rises and falls with joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, hope and despair. At times, it is governed by a smidgen of faith, other times, mustard seed faith. The stage is set in the deep-south in the era of black and white TVs, rotary phones, party lines, unlocked doors and windows. Small bottle cokes cost five cents, large ones six cents. There were Dime Stores instead of Dollar Stores. The scene is set in motion with a young girl living in an unspoiled world of love, laughter and friendships. The scene-scape moves and changes rapidly. As years pass, this perfect world is blemished by bitterness, anger, and hate as death, adultery, and sickness erode the spirit and cripple the soul. Amid the years were trials and tribulations, flights and fights, and storms that brewed, and, there were some deep shit bipolar times. This was the era of growing up, of love and laughter--the era of innocence. It was life at the highest and life at the lowest ebbs. From southern girl who is nurtured to southern matriarch who nurtures, it is a tale spawning from first light to midnight. It is the eve of a new dawn.

Autor

Barefoot & Naked on the Banks of the Altamaha River is a fictional anthology with the main character based on the author's and other women lives reared in the deep-south. This anthology introduces the reader to the heart and soul of the south. This fictional anthology is a sexually and spiritually moving account of one woman's unwavering faith and intense desire to survive: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This woman is like a river that rises and falls, swift and strong and mighty. Sometimes, she is weak and fragile. She lives dangerously, sometimes violently. She lives wild and furious and free. Sometimes, she lives in bondage. She is calm and quiet. She is like a river ever changing her boundaries. This woman's journey is like a mirror reflecting other women's struggles, like a river that reflects its banks. As the depth of this woman's soul is revealed, you will laugh, and you will cry. This woman has loved and feared, fought and fled, laughed and hurt, won and lost. Through it all, her love and faith to her God has allowed her to live life to the fullest. This woman loves being barefoot and naked. As she is stripped down to her soul, nothing is left to bare. This woman is lovable. She is funny. She is sexual. This woman is barefoot and naked on the banks of the Altamaha River.
