About The Author

Adam Patterson was born, the eldest of three sons, in the small town of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, to parents who will soon celebrate 59 years of marriage. His father (Johnny) taught him to be honest, loyal and hard working and his mother (Flora) taught him that no one was better than he and that he was no better than anyone else. They also taught him to love and how to be loved.

At the tender age of 19 he moved away to the big city to search for himself (with a strong foundation) and to explore what life had to offer. After 25 years of living, loving, learning and earning he moved back to small town America to help out the family.

To keep him from going insane from the abrupt, uprooting, unnerving change his mother suggested he write that book he’d always talked about.

So he did just that, and has been writing since…

Mr. Adam Patterson

It’s been said everyone knows everyone else in Small-town America. This used to be a good thing, but things always change. Now the knowing comes with labels.

Her story is known, as stories are in quaint picturesque communities, via the rumor mill.However, beneath the stares, glares and pointing fingers, lies the truth.
