Life in Adairsville: An Anecdotal History of a Small North Georgia Town

The beautiful hardcover volume is entitled, Life in Adairsville: An Anecdotal History of a Small North Georgia Town. Mr. Pelfrey will be available for a book signing following the presentation.
Life in Adairsville is a collection of writings by Mr. Pelfrey, Alice Butler Howard (1894-1991) and Dan Bowdoin (1923-2009). Much of the material for the book first appeared in newspaper columns and other publications over a seventy year time span, however, approximately one-third of the content had not been published prior to the release of his book.
Danny Pelfrey is the Minister of First Christian Church of Adairsville. He spent many years ministering in the Midwest before returning to Georgia a number of years ago to minister to the West Rome Christian Church before finally moving to his home church in Adairsville. He is the author of an inspirational book entitled One-Way Choices in a Wrong-Way World, and a mystery/suspense novel set in Adairsville, Out of Depths, co-written with his wife Wanda. For years Mr. Pelfrey wrote articles for a number of national publications.
