Village Creek: The First and Only Eyewitness Account of the Second Life of Gordon BaxterHere is the memoir of a man who, in midlife, grew into a new self-made mold and left behind a "gold ole boy." Village Creek is funny, moving and filled with feeling without being sentimental. Baxter writes with deep affection of his past--his neighbors, country life, his kids--and with passion about his present--his wife Diane, their baby Jennifer and their anything-but-quiet life on Village Creek.--From jacket flap. |
