ORDINARY TRAUMA
FOLEY AT 100
Jennifer Sinor
Kent W. Cockson
Set against the late Cold War and a military childhood spent amid fast-attack submarines and long-range nuclear missiles, this memoir delivers a revelatory look at how ordinary moments that typically pass unnoticed form the very basis for our perceptions of both love and loss.
Here’s how to write a centennial history of any town. Nebraska native Cockson captures the flavor of his adopted hometown – Foley, on Alabama’s Gulf Coast – in 186 pages. Colorful profiles of local go-getters, charming anecdotes, then-and-now pictures, and a 115-year timeline. For info: kent.cockson@gmail.com
