ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 9, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Looking back at the past has its unforgettable and golden moments. Get ready to experience a fascinating journey to the past with the release of Tales from Piney Grove, a new book authored by Bobby Morrison.
Tales from Piney Grove tells a coming-of-age story, told through a riveting collection of tales that collectively capture the regional, traditional, and social change of Black Americana. Piney Grove, a misnomer because there are no pine trees there, is a small community of two hundred people, which is centered around a church in North Carolina. The author sandwiches Tales between a Prelude -- which leisurely demonstrates to the reader the history of the community and its customs -- and an Epilogue, which forty years later, on a frequent visit, the author sums up his "you can go home again" philosophy, about an era "gone with the wind."
Deeply nostalgic and richly-layered in its story telling from the first page until the last, Tales from Piney Grove stands as another towering triumph by Morrison as well as an unforgettable experience for readers. To order a copy of this riveting read, feel free to visit your local bookstore or log on at Xlibris.com today.
