The son of a Georgia prosecutor killed by a car bomb offers a “compelling” account of the crime and its effect on his life (Booklist).
When I was twenty I came face to face with the old man convicted of paying five thousand dollars for the murder of my father.
From the gripping first line of this true story, you will follow a young man’s journey through grief and despair to acceptance and forgiveness. On August 7, 1967, prosecutor Floyd “Fuzzy” Hoard was killed by a car bomb in his own front yard in Jackson County, Georgia. Summoning the memories of the events surrounding that day, Alone among the Living is G. Richard Hoard’s remembrance of the father he lost on that day, and of his subsequent struggle to come to terms with the murder.
“A chronicle of grief and anger and confusion as Hoard tries to come of age without his father’s help…A compelling story of loss, acceptance, and forgiveness.”—Booklist
“He writes of the universal struggle to make sense of a world that often seems ruled by chaos and to find one’s place in it.”—Athens Banner-Herald
