WINNER 2022 GEORGIA AUTHOR OF THE YEAR AWARD
WINNER, 2022 WHITWORTH-FLANIGAN BOOK AWARD
“At first glance Peachtree Corners looks like a beautiful coffee table book. Open the cover, and discover Townsend’s skilled history narratives. It all comes down to good writing, with impeccable research.”
From the Author’s Introduction:
“What we are at risk of sacrificing with change is our heritage, the history of a place, the land and her people. Once those treasures are bulldozed and buried under the red Georgia clay, they are lost forever; all that remains are the memories, scattered photographs, and word-of-mouth accounts of those who walked here before us. Eventually, even those are lost to transition, to carelessness, to fire, to flood, and ultimately, to death.”

I’d love for you all to read my blog posts. I do my best to keep them as succinct as possible, without short-changing the topic. After reading a post, if you’re inclined to comment, please do. If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes another village to keep us engaged, informed, and entertained.
