Thanks to Dr. Curt Lindquist for the following information:

This book describes the life of an Albany, Georgia cotton mill "daddy." Lightle weaves together themes of family, love, and friendship against the backdrop of twentieth century Southern history.

Besides being the author of other books such as Made or Broken: Football & Survival in the Georgia Woods, Lightle wrote for the following newspapers: The Albany Herald, Greenville (SC) News, Florida-Times Union and Atlanta-Journal Constitution. After publishing his book Made or Broken: Football & Survival in the Georgia Woods, the Georgia senate passed a resolution honoring Mr. Lightle for “his passion for education, history, and the furtherance of social justice.”
