Seeking a future, the Carter families move from their bootlegging home in the mountains to middle Georgia. By 1946, they expand their enterprises to include murder, bootlegging, cattle rustling, election fraud, and interracial affairs. Revenge for attempted rape is best served up by two women: "-they'll git in his hay. Atter they git paid, you and me, we'll git him back. We'll light a Lucifer to his hay barn. That'll learn him." Filled with loneliness and hunger for love, Penny, at fourteen, uses her sexuality to satiate the hungers and generates problems for herself and her family. The men reach for the top rail, unmindful of what or whom they step on-neighbors, benefactors or strangers. THE BOTTOM RAIL's characters are as decadent as Faulkner's Snopes family and as driven as Flannery O'Connor's.

A decade ago, Dee Dupree Jackson experienced visions from a murder victim, helping her solve a crime from the 1960s and making her a local hero. Those days are gone and her life in a small Northeast Georgia town is ordinary, except for the secret she and her daughter, Sara, keep under wraps. Like Dee's Aunt Connie, Sara's clairvoyant characteristics showed up at an early age. By the time Sara is eight, her drawings and conversations with a ghost leave no doubt in Dee's mind that a family disaster is in the making -- and directly affects the son of her best friend and sister-in-law, Emmy. The lead FBI agent ignores Dee's plea to use Sara's drawings to help find a mysterious, creepy kidnapper who changes her identity at her slightest whim.

After seven years of enjoying a playful, mischievous, fun-filled life, Melany Wiggins was described as "the child who never let it rain on her parade." But the storm clouds came, turning into boisterous winds, shattering dreams. Like tornadoes, they struck relentlessly with unbelievable pain, again and again, for more than 30 years. Through these years, Melany never complained nor lost her zest for life, loving and being concerned about the needs of others, always thanking the Lord. She was taken to five leading teaching hospitals in America before finally being diagnosed with Behcet's Syndrome. She was in one local hospital more than 200 times. By the age of 12, she had lost her ability to walk. She had a colostomy and was on oxygen from age 15. By the time of her death at age 41, she had had half her stomach removed along with her large intestine and both legs above the knees. She spent the last three years of her life via a non-invasive respirator. Through it all, Melany persevered, graduating as valedictorian of her high-school class and attaining a Suma Cum Laude degree in Therapeutic Recreation after 9 years of college. This is her story -- and the story of a remarkable faith-filled family that surrounded her.
