A Changing North Carolina

I am sorry that this book has not received the attention that it deserves. The novel features the unforgettable character Woodrow Bunce who tries to hold on to his southern ways despite the changes that are surrounding him due to suburban sprall. Woodrow is the "Natty Bumpo" of our generation. He charms the town's yuppie newcomers with his simple style of living, and others find strengh in his determination to live as he pleases. This book is full of southern humor, lovable characters, and best of all, it is a captivating story with a disturbing message about a dying heritage.
