Anyone who has ever known Tom Poole, will be thrilled that at long last his wonderful story telling ability is making its first appearance into book format. Tom brings to life an assortment of characters in the small, rural NC communities found in piedmont Montgomery County. Set against a Nifty Fifties backdrop, Tom relives some of the daring exploits of friends and enemies of the waning, final golden days of The White Lightning trade. Now, with GPS, PC's, and cell phone that world has all but disappeared. For a nostalgic trip down memory lane, Tom hopes you will enjoy as he reminisces with these SLIGHTLY exaggerated stories in a quaint and folksy, down-home style written as only a native North Carolinian can. The second section of the book provides a glimpse into the deeper hidden world of poetry, in Toms' memorable, poignant style. Enjoy y'all.
