Shades of Purple

Excerpt from my self-published book, Shades of Purple

...We had a speckled puppy named Lucky. He attracted every tick within a ten-mile radius. ..Lucky bit the dust also. Never one to mourn for long, my sister Rhonda sprayed two letters and a hyphen in front of Lucky's name. The sign in front of his vacant dog house read: UN-Lucky.

This book deals with growing up in rural Alabama in a small town called Oakville. Oakville is the home of Olympic runner, Jesse Owens. It is also the home of up-and-coming author...Carolyn Brackin Orr.
