Summary Of Robert Corams Gully Dirt

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My story began when I was twelve years old and the new Baptist preacher came to town. I experienced sex for the first time, joined the church, and learned that my father was the instrument of a vengeful God. #2 The preacher at the Edison Baptist Church, Brother Dunagan, wanted to change things up. He had not been in Edison long enough to learn the names of the deacons, so he announced from the pulpit that the church should be open to the public every morning. #3 My father, who worked for the telephone company, had little in common with the local farmers. He did not want to spend his lunch hour praying, and he did not go to church with them. He hated Ralph McGill, the publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, because he was always bellyaching about the South. #4 I lived in a culture that was dominated by the word nigger, but my mother was uncomfortable with it. She asked my father not to use that word, and he always replied with something racist.
