This
is the story of Shuffletown, North Carolina. It is an Ode to all small
American communities for they are all vanishing. And to live in these
small places taught us all we ever needed to know about life and living.
Places such as Shuffletown and the people who grew up in these places made
America great. Shuffletown, USA is a memoir told in many voices.
However, do keep in mind, writers do jumble and exaggerate events. The
only thing that is totally true in this book is that the author grew up in
an oddly wonderful place, in a special time, raised by hardy, resilient
folks and neighbors who had known my family for generations. People just
are not that lucky anymore.
about the author
Judy Rozzelle has been a freelance writer since 1971. She sold the first
article she ever wrote to Reader’s Digest and has since published
in several national magazines. She was a winner in the 1986 Guideposts
Writer’s Contest. She was senior editor for Charlotte Magazine.
Ms. Rozzelle wrote this book in an effort to redeem herself in
Shuffletown. She also felt bad because she never completed the history of
the church in time for its centennial celebration in 1991. |
