Ferrol Sams. Run With The Horsemen, The Whisper Of The River, and When All The World Was Young. He is a doctor(M.D.) who lives in Fayetteville. The books are loosely based around his childhood. I listed them in order of how they should be read. Excellent books, well written, and very funny. They will especially ring true if you are from Georgia and have the old southern roots. Either way I would highly reccomend them. He also wrote several collections of short stories that are very good. Epiphany comes to mind as the one I have read.
