The Wiregrass

She Writes Press
In a debut novel, Pam Webber takes readers to the Wiregrass, “a place where angels and demons dance,” says the mother of 14-year-old protagonist Nettie about the southern Alabama town of Crystal Springs. With a setting that can be likened to To Kill a Mockingbird, Webber takes readers on a journey of summer antics, repercussions and lessons that bring youngsters into adulthood in a way that only dramatic events can.
