Who Took the "G" Out of Glademore?

WHO TOOK THE G OUT OF GLADEMORE Who Took the G Out of Glademore is a story that encompasses family; and all its conflict, a grandmother that dabbles occasionally in the “Gifts”, the intimacy of “first love” and the trials the close-knit families in a rural town endure to survive. The story takes place in the fictional town of Glademore, Alabama during the late 1950’s segregated south. Dramatically, we are taken through and become a part of the heroine, Honey Hall’s journey, from an inexperienced young girl to womanhood. Along the way, she learns the value of true friendship, a friendship that carries heavy-laden conflicts on her heart. She is there for her best friend, Cora Ann, who is easily persuaded by an unscrupulous, bootleg selling boyfriend; his friend who is determined to be more than a yes-man; and the notoriety of Joe Boy, our protagonist, whose hard-knock experiences in life make him the man he is, a man long before his time. We share the unpredictability of love, the boundaries Honey is willing to cross in a controversial relationship and the vagaries of human nature. “You just don’t know Honey. I love Joe Boy. You don’t know ‘bout love yet, but when you find out, you gonna know it’s mis’ry, pain, beatin’s, murder, robbin’ folks, drinkin’ hard whiskey, gamblin’, it’s all them things that you cain’t walk away from when you loves somebody.” - Cora Ann
