State of Georgia . . . and Other Writings - Paperback

by Tammy Marshall (Author)

This is a collection of stories and poems. In the novel-length story, "State of Georgia," a newly widowed elderly woman sets out to enjoy her life in ways she couldn't while she was married, and she finds more than she could have imagined. In the two short stories, young girls face character-deciding moments in their lives. The novella, "Quitter," is about a middle-aged man who returns to his hometown after years of quitting everything important to him so that he can quit being a quitter. The handful of poems introduce the stories by touching on their themes. This book was arranged and lovingly dedicated to the memory of the author's dear friend.
