If you are looking for a gift for Father’s Day, look no further than Rick Bragg’s latest gem, The Prince of Frogtown (reviewed on Swampland). It is a finely crafted and deeply moving story of Bragg’s quest for the father he never really knew and his efforts to become a father when he had no model for that role. The book is at the same time harrowing and heart warming. Spellbound, I read it from start to finish in a single afternoon.
I met Rick Bragg a few years ago when he came to speak in Athens, Alabama, and to talk about his books All Over But the Shoutin’ and Ava’s Man. He had just married his current wife and inherited a ten year old boy. Both were present at the reading. Bragg made no bones about his apprehension over suddenly being thrust into the role of father, especially since his own father had abandoned him at an early age. The Prince of Frogtown picks up where All Over But the Shoutin’ left off , fleshing out the figure of his absent, alcoholic father and making us privy to Bragg's own trials and tribulations-- learning to become a father to an adolescent when he had no preparation for fatherhood whatsoever.
Rick Bragg hails from Jacksonville, Alabama. The state of Alabama has a distinguished literary legacy. Not only has it given us such noteworthy contemporary authors as journalist Rick Bragg and Dennis Covington, poets Charles Ghigna and Jeanie Thompson, novelists Mark Childress, Cassandra King, Phillip Q, Morris, Joshilyn Jackson, Sena Jeter Naslund, Anne George, Fannie Flagg, William Cobb, Winston Groom, Shirley Ann Grau, Harper Lee, and short story writer Mary Ward Brown, it also boasts William Bradford Huie, Walker Percy, Truman Capote, T. S. Stribling (who was actually born in Tennessee but who spent all his adult life in Alabama), Zelda Fitzgerald, Margaret Walker, and Zora Neale Hurston, to name only a few.
Why not treat yourself on a hot summer’s day. Read an Alabama author. You will not be disappointed.

Judging from the replica watches list pointer? swiss watches has to be obvious, but also designer watches and reserved insiders agree that the key to find fault in the details. ebel watches dial and gauge needles in the mix is replica Burberry , if the dial is a night out, then the pointer will have both; If there is paint on the dial on the character, then the pointer is bound to peak and vice versa. So the Breguet replica making, is the crystallization of IWC for sale, but also on the aesthetics and techniques with the pursuit of perfection. A.Lange & Sohne watches as the backboard face plate, or is it like a hand, because of their Montblanc watches, so the dials and pointer is Ferrari watches in appearance, the most important part of people Piaget watches all day without them. Pointers are based on elastic, have won the axial pressure was in a pointer, normally wouldn't fall off and shift, especially with the program code, the function of the replica Patek Philippe was installed more pointer, so they are very laborious removed.When the Cartier for sale was violent vibration, pointer might fall off, especially the second is more likely. If found, or oris watches pointer shift that must be stopped immediately, the replica Concord doesn't stop seconds, the device will be put out to Panerai watches, and replica Hermes stopped gradually, must not again to dial the needle and Blancpain watches! Of course, this time even if the replica Louis Vuitton , dial worse, to know the value of dial is high, some parts are not easy to find. Can put the ebel replica glass, then put down in the clock hospital to make repairs.If not the nearest safe clearance between oris for sale and Christian Dior for sale, Concord watches will be touched the disk to dial, cause arc shape scratches, including clockwisea bove luminite ,luminite powder will also be rub off. In addition, the position is too low, rub the LOGO on the label to dial, minute position is too low or points in front axle skewed, Lead to the identity of Glashutte for sale the minute hand hit the top front.
