Erskine Caldwell and William Faulkner's depictions of everyday life in the Deep South - for better or worse - captivated the imagination of America and
the world for the better part of the 20th Century. Mary Ellen Cooper's
portrayal of how those lifestyles have
been
transformed from the dusty wagon
ruts of Tobacco Road to the parking lots of 21st Century chain department
stores is equally riveting, by capturing those enduring personal values that
have remained constant through the social upheavals of modern times. U.S. Representative Charlie Norwood (R-GA)
