A hilarious and passionate book. Will Tweedy is like some wonderful blend of Huck Finn and Holden Caulfield. One of the best portraits of small-town Southern life ever written.Pat Conroy, author

The one thing you can depend on in Cold Sassy, Georgia, is that word gets aroundfast. If the preachers wifes petticoat showed, the ladies would make the talk last a week. But on July 5, 1906, things took a scandalous turn. That was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the general store and barely three weeks a widower, eloped with Miss Love Simpsona woman half his age and, worse yet, a Yankee! On that day, fourteen-year-old Will Tweedys adventures began and an unimpeachably pious, deliciously irreverent town came to life.

Olive Ann Burns (1924-1990) was born on a farm in Banks County, Georgia, and went to school in nearby Commerce, which was the model for Cold Sassy. She received a degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and for ten years was on the Sunday magazine staff of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution.

Tom Parker, recipient of the Golden Voice award, records a remarkable variety of books while pursuing his love of theater by directing two or three professional stage productions a year in the Washington, D.C., area.
