Synopsis

The South that Dr. Robert Watts knew as a child is changing. His life’s story gives insight into the changing socio-political setting while demonstrating the values that are important to the enduring culture of rural America. From his early childhood in orphanages and later on a rural farm in south Louisiana with neither electricity nor indoor plumbing, Dr. Watts uses his experiences and anecdotes including his education at Tulane, MIT, Purdue and Harvard and living throughout America and the world to provide a unique perspective on the cultural differences between rural and urban societies. His perspective, expressed from the first page to the last, demonstrates the unique importance of Southern values in the 21st century.
