My family is originally from Eatonton, Ga, so I was interested to see what Mr. Moreland had to say. My dad knows a lot about the stalking case against Mr. Moreland and my mom knows some of the women portrayed in his book. We really wonder how someone can say the things he has said in print about these people and get away with it. He has defamed some very fine people and attempted to denigrate a whole town. As a black woman growing up in small town Georgia in the '40s, I experienced the typical incidents of racism, but I've experienced much worse in other places! Blacks and whites in Eatonton get along very well and have for many years. There are numerous black elected officials there at both the city and county levels. Mr. Moreland's "true story" is simply not true, either with respect to the "fabricated" stalking case or the race relations! Besides, he's a horrible writer...actually, the whole book reads like it was written by a boy! I'm sorry I bothered.
