Rooster’s Tale: A Southern Memory — An American Story
Cherokee County, Alabama, 1920. Into a hard-scrabble world of red dirt and sharecropped land, Eula Gunter brings twins into the world—Travis and Tivis—and a family already shaped by faith, labor, and love grows by two.
Rooster's Tale follows Travis Gunter from barefoot boyhood through the years that made him: the pranks and fights of a boy who couldn't stay out of trouble, the wisdom of a father who spoke little and meant everything, and the quiet steady presence of a mother whose faith was deep enough to hold a family together through hard seasons and harder losses. Set against the backdrop of 1920s and 1930s Alabama, this fictionalized family memoir moves through the Great Depression, the Klan, harvest seasons, first days of school, barnyard disasters, and the irreversible grief of losing the people who made home what it was.
But this is not a story of suffering. It is a story of what a family can survive when it holds together—and what gets planted in a child's heart when a good man and a good woman decide to give everything they have.
Rooster's Tale is for anyone who carries the memory of a particular place and the people who lived in it. It is for the sons and daughters of families that history never noticed, and for the grandchildren who want to remember what their people were made of.
