The Gone And The Going Away

the long version

"In Fog Town Holler men have 'funny names' such as Tiny Too and Eula Loom. A fox is known as a Redleg Johnny. A neighbor issues a complaint against an early-rising rooster; another lives in the chicken coop. 'Lawse,' a woman exclaims, 'the sun can't hardly find this place!' But they feel the Lord watching, always, as the green water of Shoestring Branch winds its way through hillbilly haunts and memories." -- Publisher's description.
