ROCKWALL, Texas, June 17, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- If you study closely across the many graves in a large cemetery, you will be surprised to know the fact that the lives of some persons are often intertwined. Moreover, if you go to each grave and unearth the story, you will find recurring tales of heroism and valor. This is the theme that author Jay Pister shares in his new engrossing book. Released through Xlibris, The Childress County Cemetery tells a tale of love of country, life of triumphs and disappointments, and adventures with tragic interventions.
The Childress County Cemetery demonstrates a slice of life as depicted from the events and conditions surrounding a small Texas town as its people suffer through the depression, and move from this impoverished era into a dramatic conflict brought upon the nation by the events of the major wars that have beset the nation. It follows the story of Jackie Smith and the effects the era and the events could play upon the life of this one man, and the others. Follow his exploits amidst the larger events that shaped his destiny - the war and the poverty. Pister widens the spectrum of the story to imply that all of the small towns, so beset and so affected by events occurring thousands of miles away, have many similar stories to tell.
Immerse yourself in a poignant yet compelling story that presents how once upon a time in the history of the great America, devastating events and mishaps were repeatedly struggled by its people. A touching tale of patriotism and valor, The Childress County Cemetery is one journey you will never forget.
