Ebenezerville

By V J Black

Professor JB "Stuffy" Hugabee, on sabbatical leave from Charleston, has returned to the small upstate South Carolina town of his birth to conduct research for a book on Mill League baseball. Taking up residence in the dilapidated house where he was born, JB delves into the exploits of his heroes--famous ballplayers like the legendary Hap Rathskeller and Hoyt "Little Train" Hugabee, the father he never knew. The eccentric townsfolk welcome him with open arms. But the discovery of a cryptic note sends JB's investigation in an entirely new direction, and he soon suspects that some of this neighbors may be hiding a terrible truth. What he ultimately discovers will impact all of their lives.

As told by its quirky, reflective narrator, Ebenezerville reveals those noble and tragic qualities of a vanishing South that will forever define its people.
