Set in a small southern community in the 1950’s, “The Boys of Fair Hills” chronicles the adventures of several young friends who roamed the hills and woods of the community, somewhat at will, on summer days. Along the way, they had frequent encounters with an elusive red dog, experiences that stretch imaginations, and were befriended by a toad with a missing toe.

What a delightful romp through childhood in the South. The Boys of Fair Hills is a fun read, but more than just fun to read, it is about friendship, family, connectedness, and a sense of community. We have lost too much of all of these, and we need to find our way back.

The scenes from The Boys of Fair Hills are like stepping into my most comfortable slippers. That was the world in which I grew up. “Fair Hills” carried me back to that wonderful place where every day was an adventure.

Reading The Boys of Fair Hills made me want to go back to my favorite spot in the woods where I grew up, find a comfy spot, and let the words take me back to a time that I had long forgotten. No one other than Mark Twain has been able to do that. Although the experiences in “Fair Hills” are different from those I remember in my childhood, there are enough common descriptions that it makes me feel like I’m a kid again. Lots of books “grab you” and make you want to keep reading to see what might happen next, but “Fair Hills” made me keep reading because of how it made me feel.

The Boys of Fair Hills reminded me of the enjoyment of reading Huckleberry Finn. As a parent, I appreciate “Fair Hill’s” innocence and wholesomeness. I think it should be in every school.

I recently read The Boys of Fair Hills and enjoyed it immensely. Though I didn’t grow up at the same time or in the exact circumstances, I appreciate the timeless quality of the observations. I like the fact that the book never bogs down. Each chapter is a new adventure consistent with the overall theme.

I can’t stop reading this!!
Thank you for sharing it with me.
Your literary style reminds me of two of my favorite authors/books: Rick Bragg-All Over But the Shoutin’ and Forrest Carter- The Education of Little Tree!
Great job! I’m truly enjoying this!!

I started “The Boys of Fair Hills” this weekend and am loving every minute of it. Southern writing is my favorite and this ranks right up there with Rick Bragg, another good ole Alabama boy. Thanks for sending me the copy and especially for taking time to writing these stories down. Great work!

Your book is an easy and a fun read for young and old. Once I started, I couldn’t stop for long. It should be in every elementary school and every library. Hope you author some more books.
