Marietta, GA: Cherokee Publishing, 1995. First edition - The author's first novel, a story about twin boys growing up on a hunting plantation in Georgia in the 1940s, told with a "balance of lyrical nostalgia and gleefully coarse humor. It is narrated by Matty MacDonald in one of those distinctive Southern voices that creates color on the page. He and his brother Patty are twins whose mother died giving birth to them and whose father committed suicide shortly afterward. The boys are raised on a 15,000-acre South Georgia hunting property named Ecowah Plantation by their delightfully eccentric Uncle Charlie, who gives up his carefree bachelor life to accept the responsibility."
