Synopsis
What happens when you go to church with the local newspaper publisher and you say, I would like to write a column sometime? Well the answer may be, Send me one and we will see. Over ten years later, Larry Walker, former long-time member of the Georgia House of Representatives, is still writing a weekly column for the Houston (GA) Home Journal. Life on the Gnat Line is a composition of Larry s widely read columns. His priorities in life are clearly defined when he puts pen to paper family, everything Southern, reading, politics, and of course, folks. Larry paints a picture about life with wit and humor, curious findings, folklore and constant reminders about the value of relationships. Life on the Gnat Line is entertaining and enlightening. It is a collection of memories, reflections, and hopes as the Old South becomes the New South. You will laugh, and you will sigh. Most of all, you will enjoy the wisdom of Larry Walker. You might even decide to move to Perry, Georgia.
