Cora Jean (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530174287)

Lawrence Earl Gulley's life is as interesting as his books. Born so sickly that the doctor tried to convince his mother to simply let him die, he was saved by his determined grandmother. His many careers include Chief of Police, moonshine runner, rolling store owner, undertaker, magazine writer and gas delivery man. Lawrence Earl's work has protected people, entertained them, buried them, fed them, and kept them warm in many ways throughout the years. He lives in Excel, Alabama with his family, and had his raising in the same outskirts of Monroeville that produced the likes of Harper Lee and Truman Capote, both of whom he knew personally.
