Baptists, Bibles, and Bourbon in the Barn: The Stories, the Characters, and the Haunting Places of a West (O'MG) Kentucky Childhood. - Softcover
Synopsis
"Baptists, Bibles, and Bourbon in the Barn" is a spunky memoir about growing up in Western Kentucky during the roaring twenties, the Great Depression, and the run up to World War II. Written from the viewpoint of a kid's bottom-up perspective of the fundamentalist Baptist culture of the era, it is a story of preachers shouting fire and brimstone, a cow-sow-hen economy of unpainted barns and farmhouses, kerosene lamps, outhouses, fiddling music, Bourbon whiskey, hordes of relatives, hardship, death, and survival. But it is also a story of love, graced by nostalgia in remembrance of a time that is gone.
