Overpass
Jack Ledford
A slice of down-home life in and around Reedville, Alabama, Overpass serves up small-town espionage. Based on a true story, author Jack Ledford has changed the name to protect the innocent - as well as the guilty and shy.
It seems that the tracks leading up to a railroad crossing are delaying traffic. School kids are getting home late and parents are not happy. Worse yet, hard-to-see oncoming trains have killed a few local drivers. The solution: nuild a street overpass above the railroad tracks. But the country-fried skullduggery of rural southern politics makes getting an overpass built anything but easy. Tom Eske, local surveyor, desperately wants the overpass built. Sharing his desire and his bed is school bus driver Amona Taiyah, the earthy lady who Tom would have as his wife. Convincing Amona to marry him is about as hard a task as getting that confounded overpass erected.
Bio: JACK LEDFORD was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. Now retired, he lives with his wife in Alabama. Overpass is his first book.
