Book Description
Down Cemetery Road
Praise for Down Cemetery Road
The much-anticipated release of this prequel to the unforgettable Baxter’s Friends was well worth the wait. Randle raises the curtain on the formative years of Billy Bright’s life, revealing a formula for his adult years that is at once both intoxicating and utterly sobering. Down Cemetery Road delves into the disillusionment of adolescence sadly often shot down by mid-life.
– K.K. Snyder, Editor, Southwest Georgia Living magazine
During the 60s, the most divisive period of American history since the Civil War, coming of age was abrupt and ambiguous for able bodied boys fated by the shadow of conscription. This insightful novel explores death of boyhood replete with a bathtub baptism comically celebrating the slap dead end of innocence and the abrupt birth into the adult world, where high school graduates must decide to fight, fly or go to jail for resisting an immoral and unjust war. This novel is provocative and carefully written—a good read.
– O. Victor Miller, author of short story collections One Man’s Junk and The Tenderest Touch
