A primer on life in the South during the Farm Crisis and the Great Depression of the early 20th century, as one boy searches among his brother's death and the murder of a neighbor for what is real and what is true. David Sasq is reared in the Gospel Truth Baptist Church in Ty Ty, Georgia, and tries to reconcile what he learns there with what he sees around himself: Klan murders, a racial divide, hypocrisy, and an entirely different message from his grandfather, preacher at the biggest Baptist church in Athens, with his own radio program.

Autorenporträt
After a twenty-year Air Force career and twelve years teaching at government and non-government organizations in Washington, DC, Paul retired and began writing. "On Ty Ty Creek" is the republication of his first novel, "The Gospel Truth," which appeared in 2012. It was written with the support, encouragement, and editorial advice of Charlotte Elizabeth Robinson. The stories and characters of this historical fiction (librarians call it a "bildungsroman" or a "coming of age" story) are woven from his life and family as well as adventures in the South in places such as Ty Ty, GA; Tupelo, MS; Concord, NC; Sledge, MS; and Waldo, AL.
