    "Ham" MacPherson is a promising left-handed baseball pitcher at Wilkes Central High School whom the Atlanta Braves have told will be selected with the third pick of the 1976 MLB draft, complete with a generous signing bonus. Within a twenty-four hour period, however, Ham's world goes topsy-turvy. His relationships with his girlfriend, Nora, and best friend, JC, are turned upside down and inside out. A life-changing catastrophe transforms Ham and the way he views the world. Accidents and deaths soon follow. How will Ham deal with all the tumult in his life? The story ends where it began, in a hearse."Country Ham is all it promises--sweet and salty, a nostalgic return to the rural South of the 1970s. But it is more: rich humor, good storytelling, and a dash of religion, well salted. Ham is a sagacious guide to surviving a dysfunctional family and life-changing tragedy."--R. Alan Culpepper, Dean and Professor Emeritus, McAfee School of Theology, Mercer University"As engrossing as To Kill a Mockingbird and as atmospheric as Of Mice and Men, this beautifully written novel recounts an engaging story whose characters take on a life of their own, while embedding themselves in ours."--Bruce W. Longenecker, W.W. Melton Chair of Religion, Baylor University"In Country Ham, MacPherson and Parsons have penned a story of tragedy, and out of the rubble of insufferable loss shine love of family, joy of friends, beauty of faith, and a goodness that follows us all the days of our lives. Beautifully written, seen most clearly through the blur of tears of loss and laughter!"--Ronald B. Poythress, pastor, Triangle Baptist Church, Raleigh, North Carolina"This novel is fun and funny, sober and sobering in all the right places. The authors capture the wondrous/frustrating incongruity of Southern, specifically North Carolina, culture, deep in the grass roots."--Bill J. Leonard, Dunn Professor of Baptist Studies and Church Hist
