Product Description
Drawn to Darkness is a short fiction, drawn however from experiences as a child growing up in the 50's and living in the mountains. The cave along the Piney River is real and I explored it as I played there alone. The cave in the book is totally fictitious, but so much like the many caves found in the mountains of Tennessee. This book is about exploration and adventure, about young people having fun and getting to know each other. I have always heard that true stories are stranger than fiction. The fiction in this book is biased on parts of true stories put together for Jimmy, the main character and his friends, John, Clair, and Joann. Teenagers in a small Tennessee mountain town, growing up in an age of uncertainty and threat of nuclear war. But free to explore the world around them.
From the Author
This has been a fun project, to write about life experiences in the form of a fiction. To let a story develop and use personal events with the freedom to expound as needed. I have started a second book, also a fiction, using the same teen characters to discover the mysteries of Grassy Cove.
