Book:
Toadsuck Tales: "You Either Laugh or Slit Your Throat"
Author Peter Gordy, a middle child and from the middle of his clan and the town of Toadsuck, tells a series of stories that capture a time, a place and a cast of real characters in his book Toadsuck Tales. His wit and humor paint portraits of people and a small townscape in the fifties with love, but also with a sardonic precision that brings the town and its characters to life and reminds us that small town life in Eisenhower America was both idyllic and unjust, in almost equal measure.
