The Red Hills of Home tells the life and adventures of Georgia Boy Red, a farm boy who grew up in the southernmost hills of Georgia from the early 1930s to the 1950s. Born during the Great Depression, he came of age during the troubling days of World War II, followed by the Korean War, and life on a farming homestead wasn't always easy. Yet, despite the hardships of the times, he had a happy childhood roaming those wooded, rolling hills and fishing the Big Lake down on Hurrikin (Hurricane Creek), a place dear to his heart. His family owned 86 acres of land in a small rural community known as Handtown, where he helped his daddy work their red clay fields, growing tobacco, corn, and cotton, making the most of what they had. He worked hard, but he also had his moments of mischief, as told in this lighthearted narrative. Georgia Boy Red gives us a glimpse into a simpler place and time-the good ol' days-and this is his coming-of-age story. From his humble beginnings to adulthood, he shares his fondest memories of the place he calls...the red hills of home.
Autorenporträt
S.L. Claytor has always loved to write stories, having penned her first novel-length work in her early teens. During those middle and high school days, she was rarely without her journal that she filled with poetry and short stories, knowing that she wanted to one day become a published author. Her dream of achieving that goal came much later, but she finally pursued her passion for writing and has, to date, published several novels, best known for her works in young adult fiction and fiction for young readers. Her titles include Scary Stories for a Fright in the Night, Corin & Angelique, Immortal Calling and Left in Silence. Residing in Southwest Florida, when not delving into the world of fiction and fantasy, she enjoys the great outdoors. She is married and has two children, as well as two crazy cats that rule the house. Life at Whiskers Manor is the cat's meow.
