These stories set in the American South evoke a time of yesterday, a time of gathering on the front porch to sip iced tea with friends and neighbors, a time to share stories of life and becoming. The young son of a fundamentalist preacher discovers the mystery of grace and redemption that reveals to him his own unique connection to the divine. A fatherless boy begins his journey to manhood alone on a south Georgia train taking him to the military academy and a surprise encounter with a young girl who would become an icon of Southern writing. The simple and intertwined roots of family give shape and context to the foundations of a young boy coming of age. The culture of Hollywood sets the scene for a glimpse into the real actors in the culture of a small, Southern town. Miss Addie foresees her future in the eyes of a hummingbird and answers the call. The unexpected encounter of an old man and a boy on the road to Knoxville might be disappointing failure or opportunity and only the unknowing hopes of youth can see new directions once defined by older generations. True love and forgiveness unfolds on a snowy Appalachian mountainside at Christmas. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Tea?
