NATIONAL BESTSELLER • With the same emotional generosity and effortlessly compelling storytelling that made All Over But the Shoutin’ a beloved bestseller, Rick Bragg continues his personal history of the Deep South. This time he’s writing about his grandfather Charlie Bundrum, a man who died before Bragg was born but left an indelible imprint on the people who loved him. Drawing on their memories, Bragg reconstructs the life of an unlettered roofer who kept food on his family’s table through the worst of the Great Depression; a moonshiner who drank exactly one pint for every gallon he sold; an unregenerate brawler, who could sit for hours with a baby in the crook of his arm. In telling Charlie’s story, Bragg conjures up the backwoods hamlets of Georgia and Alabama in the years when the roads were still dirt and real men never cussed in front of ladies. A masterly family chronicle and a human portrait so vivid you can smell the cornbread and whiskey, Ava’s Man is unforgettable.

Rick Jacobs and his wife, Susie, were enjoying the perfect life: happily married for more than twenty years, four healthy children, a successful family business, and a seemingly bright and happy future. In late summer of 2001, their idyllic world was shattered when Susie fell victim to a massive heart attack at the young age of thirty-nine. Though she survived, Susie suffered brain damage that left her forever disabled and unable to care for herself or her family. Rick's sudden role of caregiver to his wife and, essentially, single parent to his children challenged him beyond anything he had ever known. Adding to his ever-increasing stress was the ordeal of filing for bankruptcy and the loss of their cherished family business and weekend cabin retreat. Finding strength from within, his family, a special friend, and, especially, from God, Rick persevered. Slowly, he was able to move on, put the past behind him, and once again experience joy in his life. Life Has Begun, the sequel to Let Life Begin, details the remarkable journey of Rick and his family as they move beyond tragedy to healing through love, tears, and prayer.

The author’s experience as a respected scientist, teacher of statistics, and one who has worked in the clinical trials arena makes him well suited to write such a treatise.

One of South Africa’s finest batsmen in the first half of the twentieth century, Eric Rowan (1909-1993) will always be remembered for his cocky and fiercely combative approach to every match in which he played. A highly courageous player, he was prepared to take on Lindwall and Miller at their fastest without the benefit of either gloves or box. To him the very thought of a helmet and other modern protective gear would have been anathema. No stranger to controversy, he sat down on the pitch when a Lancashire crowd barracked him for slow scoring, was controversially omitted from South Africa’s 1947 tour of England and had his Test career ended by the South African Cricket Association for reasons other than cricket. Using a variety of sources and photographs from the Brian Bassano collection, Rick Smith describes the career of this South African whose approach to cricket would have been very much at home in the modern era. In his Test career lasting from 1935 to 1951 Eric Rowan scored 1,965 runs at an average of 43.66. In 1951, aged 42, he made 236 against England at Leeds which was then South Africa’s highest individual score in a Test match. He is still the oldest cricketer to score a Test match double century. Durable to the end, Eric’s career ended in the 1953/1954 season when he was not far short of his 45th birthday.
