Being Mother

This book is a dramatization of a killing that took place in 1920, and documents the capture, multiple trials, and sentencing of a man who was suffering from a mental disorder. This book's inspiration was planted indelibly in my mind by my late Uncle James Ellis Boyd. It happened when I was a young boy - sitting on a rock formation on the bank of Swift Creek in lower Toombs County, Georgia. Just as a child, listening keenly to someone reading them a bedtime fable, I sat there entranced with my uncle's storytelling, my feet dangling in the cool stream. Uncle James told me all about a horrific event that happened on February 19, 1920, not far from where we were sitting. I became all ears!
