"Blue Ridges, Silver Streets" opens with a brutal vacation encounter between a malevolent town bully, and young Frankie Nelson. A second encounter with the same character, decades later, leads Nelson to consider telling the story of life in this small community. The author sets out to weave together a collection of wondrous, sometimes sad, sometimes wildly humorous, vividly recalled stories featuring local characters, relatives, traditions, incidents, locations and folklore. All these elements are woven together around the "big white house," a family homestead that takes on a life and spirit of its own. The novel closes with a heartbreaking, yet somehow optimistic look to the future.
