George W. Ramphrey is a masterful Southern storyteller who will have readers laughing, crying and cringing at times in his latest book "Dream on a Hill" Visions in Black and Gold. He creates an entertaining story of David Lee, an incorrigible child, who faces many challenges and predicaments growing up in the Mississippi Delta. The music, styles, and culture of the Golden Age of the Fifties are vividly portrayed in an entertaining and comprehensive fashion. The author has successfully captured the spirit of the Decade of the Fifties in this delightful book. However, life in the cotton patch was not always idyllic in that the family faced obstacles, and hardships. "Dream on a Hill" Visions in Black and Gold is the chronological first installment of the "On the Hill Trilogy" and is followed by "Song on a Hill" Traces of Black and Blue and "Promise on a Hill" Draped in Black and White. All three novels are strong and stand on their own merits.
