Synopsis

Terry Freeman’s Dust From a Red Dirt Road is so much more than a memoir. It is that, but it’s also a personal history of the South, sometimes reaching all the way back to the 17th century. It will remind you of the late Georgia humorist Lewis Grizzard. With belly-laugh-inducing true stories, interspersed with pensive poetry and mouth-watering family recipes, there’s something for everyone. The juxtaposition of prose, poetry and recipes gives a picture of life in the South that would be incomplete if each was presented by itself. Even if you aren’t from the South, you'll appreciate the recurring themes of family, faith, and food, plus the importance of work ethic and community. Freeman writes from the perspective of a family who lived on the same ground for generations, something that is rare and precious today, revealing values that are sorely needed and not to be discarded as old-fashioned. Dust From a Red Dirt Road is a gift from a man who has lived long enough to have thought deeply about life’s important questions, but he relates his insightful gems with an impish twinkle in his eye.
Gary L. Ivey
