At age 28, author Mary Diane Goin met her birth mother for the first time. What unfolded was a remarkable story of courage and sacrifice that can finally be told. Darlene grew up in a mill village as the abused child of a southern preacher. When a young man breezed through their little town on his way up north, the sixteen-year-old followed on the promise of love and a new life. The dream soon turned into a nightmare when Darlene discovered she had been baited for the mob's prostitution ring in New York. The teen bravely escaped and made it home, only to face the cruel gossip of town folks, an angry father who refused to let her into the house and...a surprise pregnancy. Living out of the family's basement, Darlene took a third-shift job in the grueling cotton mill, keeping her pregnancy a secret until she could figure out what to do. She ran out of time on April 14, 1955.
A race to the grave isn't a typical father-son bonding experience in the way a potato sack race might be. But when comedy writer Glenn Rockowitz and his psychoanalyst father are diagnosed with aggressive terminal cancers only a week apart, tragedy gives way to a uniquely dark, funny, and intensely loving experience. Cotton Teeth is the long-awaited follow-up to Rockowitz's bestselling memoir, Rodeo in Joliet. A comedian's unflinchingly candid account of the heartbreak, joy, and wisdom shared between father and son as they face their final months of life alone and together.

This is from the bottom up, by teenage boys and their observations on: black and white cotton pickers, “planters versus workers,” con men, hucksters, KKK, preachers, politicians, bootleggers, slavery and slave-hunters during the Great Depression, and rising war clouds—coming Draft.
Christie Farrell is the eldest daughter of a plantation owner in Charleston, South Carolina. She leads a sheltered existence until her father decides that she should marry. The story depicts Christie's development from privileged daughter, via physical and mental scars and challenges, to a generous and complete woman. Jean Morley writes with humour and compassion and the atmosphere of eighteenth-century plantation living in Charleston and village customs in England are vividly brought to life.
