The Dangerous Paradise of the South

When Lenn and Evelyn Pilsher decide to find their dream property where they can retire and build a home for their children and grandchildren to visit and enjoy the outdoors, a beautiful small county in north Georgia seems ideal. There are beautiful valleys, majestic mountains, lush crop fields, brilliant fall colors, invigorating clean air, and abundant country charm. But like many an innocent visitor to this seemingly perfect spot, the Pilshers are unaware of the undercurrents of corruption and evil beneath the benign surface. A simple surveyor’s error leads to the Pilshers being made to feel very unwelcome on their newly purchased property…and soon they find themselves embroiled in the terror and tragedy that are the hallmarks of life in this deceptively tranquil oasis. Evelyn’s friend, real estate agent Brenda Bramn, is irresistibly drawn to the crisis in the Pilshers’ lives, and in her quest to find justice for the Pilshers, she finds herself poking a hornets’ nest of an organized good-old-boy network with power and self-serving immorality that keep the county in poverty, and its citizens enslaved to fear. But Brenda isn’t so easily intimidated. Our Damn County! is the shocking and inspiring story of a courageous woman and a group of citizens who stand up to a web of power with threads running from the lowest to the highest levels of government, and who refuse to allow their little corner of the world to be victimized by greed and fraud. This compelling page-turner will show you how real change can happen, and will leave you asking yourself how you can make a difference in your own community.
