In the Shadow of Cotton

This memoir refreshes our culture of remembrance with humor and tears through the eyes of a child coming of age among the tide of baby boomers in the Deep South in a cotton mill village in the 1950s and 1960s. In the Shadow of Cotton is a thoroughly engaging, heartwarming, and often funny story of play, daily life, and most important love and respect and loyalty in the mill village community. The work includes the life and times of the period and a history of cotton, the cotton mills, and its villages.
