Notable
book,
Praying
for
Sheetrock
is
the
story
of
McIntosh
County,
a
small,
isolated,
and
lovely
place
on
the
flowery
coast
of
Georgia--and
a
county
where,
in
the
1970s,
the
white
sheriff
still
wielded
all
the
power,
controlling
everything
and
everybody.
Somehow
the
sweeping
changes
of
the
civil
rights
movement
managed
to
bypass
McIntosh
entirely.
It
took
one
uneducated,
unemployed
black
man,
Thurnell
Alston,
to
challenge
the
sheriff
and
his
courthouse
gang--and
to
change
the
way
of
life
in
this
community
forever.
"An
inspiring
and
absorbing
account
of
the
struggle
for
human
dignity
and
racial
equality"
(Coretta
Scott
King)
