FRONT PORCH PROPHET Book Report





  I just finished the book THE FRONT PORCH PROPHET by   Raymond L. Atkins.   I stayed entertained throughout the book.  That is what it is all about isn't it?   The story takes place in northwest Georgia, near the southwest base of Lookout Mountain.   It is just about a tri-state neighborhood:  Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee.  When they drive to Chattanooga is about like "going to town".  It was funny with a few swipes at sacred cows and a few undercurrent messages on religion and  the downside of big business and individuality (a lost art).   

The author, Raymond L. Atkins,  is an English Teacher  at a vocational school who lives in Rome, Georgia, not far from the territory he writes about.
