This is a book-thing. I'll call it a book. The book wrote itself. I was a filter for whatever was inside me. All parts of the book thing deal in one way or another with notions of correctness and class. This is the theme. Rednecks have a hard time with such a theme. The more we are pushed, the less likely we are to follow. The book is divided into parts. ...Describing things to know in order to deal with the rest of the book and even more things. ...Describing movement of the Celts, and people who become Celts from the dark Danube forests to the Appalachian Mountains. ...About the Donald himself - the latest lord of the Loud and Proud. ...Telling the story of an imaginary invasion of Ballantine, the upscale retail and commercial center of South Charlotte. The magical pit bull, Dude the Dog, explains class and correctness. ...About weapons. It's who we are.

This book is the account of an ordinary woman trying to live life with good intentions, and translating those good intentions into action by helping others, in the aftermath of a really traumatic national event - 9/11/01. The primary focus is on Terror and its effects on a personal life, and indeed the life of the nation. Interwoven is a deep concern for fairness and justice, especially as regards children. No book should be complete without "politics!" There is that also. There is a mix of grief, anger and humor (the real elixir of life!)
