The Resemblance

Jim Greyson is the last of a rich, prestigious family. He lives in south Georgia at Delphi, his family mansion, near a town that bears his family name. His only "family" is an old black brother and sister who raised him after the deaths of his parents and his grandfather. Jim loves the forest, and he knows every inch of his vast acreage. He also loves reading and writing in his family journals, which go back generations and document everything from love to angels to deer hunting. When he falls in love with Mary from Atlanta, his world gets turned upside down when he meets such things as fancy restaurants, cell phones, movies and zoos. Mary's son, also named Jim, has had a problem with alcohol since his own father died. Could a city woman find happiness with the man of her dreams far from the urban life, the only life she knows? And somewhere in the simple country life of Delphi, could there be hope for her addicted son? This book won the ThomasMax "You Are Published" Award at the Southeastern Writers Conference Workshop in 2006.
