My Father, "The Ghost" By: Jack D. Smith Price:
$12.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-60862-094-4 Edition: Paperback, 191 Pages Publication Date: October 2, 2009 Other Editions: Hardcover | The story of legendary still-busting Sheriff Franklin Smith
Newly elected Sheriff Franklin Smith and his family
moved into their new home on the first floor of the
Lawrence County, Alabama, Jail in January 1951. He would
lead a war against moonshine liquor that became the
stuff of legend, rising from the mists like a ghost,
the story goes, to nab unsuspecting makers and sellers
of illegal spirits.
Sheriff Smith and his fellow moonshine raiders busted
more than 1,000 stills during his eight-year tenure and
jailed hundreds of distillers. But the aftershocks of
one of those raids turned the sheriff’s life upside
down. Facing possible prison time, his quest to regain
his good name and reputation is a compelling part of
“My Father, the Ghost.”
But there’s another side to this “Ghost” story. You will
meet a delightful array of jail characters, like
Jackleg, the whiskey hauler; Big Richard, the murderer;
and Peg, the nervous floor mopper.
Screwdriver was the little 11-year-old prisoner who
became everybody’s favorite, including the sheriff’s.
You will meet Willie B., whose cat phobia had him
climbing cell bars; Leland Herschel Bull, who sawed his
way out of a third floor cell; and Sherman Lancaster,
the jailed preacher whose flock tried to pray his cell
door open.
Luvenia, the jail cook, prepared banana pudding and
yeast rolls for the prisoners upstairs; John Franklin, a
prisoner, taught the sheriff’s daughter to drive.
The still raids, the arrests, the sheriff’s federal
trial, gutter politics, and jail characters . . . they’re
all part of the true story of this Southern sheriff and
his family of the 1950s.
You will laugh and you may cry as you read the
touchingly intimate story of the man they called “The
Ghost.”

The Cry Of The Innocent Why Am I Here? By: Peggie Perry Price:
$12.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-60862-090-6 Edition: Paperback, 203 Pages Publication Date: September 10, 2009 Other Editions: Hardcover | This has to stop, putting people in prison for sex
crimes that never happened. It’s ruining too many lives.
Someone has to do something. My life has been destroyed
and the sad thing is I’m not the only one this has been
done to.
I know how awful it is for an innocent man to be in
prison. In my case I am the victim, yet I am a dot
on the sex offenders map. I have spent time here in
this prison, a place that tries to suck not only the
life out of you but also the soul.
Every day I fight the desire to give up and just become
a part of the prison, but I won’t let myself because
I don’t belong here. I have not committed any crime. I
believe I was put here not by mistake, but by intention.
I have yet to find the answer to why. In many sleepless
nights here in this locked cell, far from home, I have
searched for the answer.
