This book is a biography and memoir of the Parker family originating in Prince Frederick, (Calvert County) Maryland depicting the life and the legacy of where it all began. Growing up, there was never a dull moment listening to her grandparents (Richard David Parker and Annie Olivia Gross Parker) tell stories of their childhood memories including having to walk several miles to a small one room school, most people in their time only had an eighth grade education, how blacks and whites weren't treated equally and had to attend separate schools and use separate public bathrooms and water foundations. The computer and telephone was non-existent in their day which seems to be absolutely hard to function without them in present day. Familiar occupations were laborers such as tobacco workers, farmers, fisherman and having 12-18 children was the "norm" in many families. There was no television and many people's favorite pastime was visiting close family.
Country Music consists of 24 stories, three of them novelette length, depicting rural life in America during the Great Depression and Army life during the Korean War of the 1950s. The stories are linked through setting and characters to produce the effect of two episodic novels-one concerning the basic training, combat experience and readjustment to civilian life of a group of Army draftees, the other a dissection of "small townism" during the stressful 1930s. Many of the stories are written in a colloquial and dialectal style, from the viewpoint of the characters.

For the better part of three decades romance comics were an American institution. Nearly 6000 titles were published between 1947 and 1977, and for a time one in five comics sold in the U.S. was a romance comic. This first full-length study examines the several types of romance comics, their creators and publishing history. The author explores significant periods in the development of the genre, including the origins of Archie Comics and other teen publications, the romance comic "boom and bust" of the 1950s, and their sudden disappearance when fantasy and superhero comics began to dominate in the late 1970s.
