Sunsets and Buzzards

by Pattie Martin Macurdy

Overview

Readers will laugh, cry, and relate as they read Pattie Martin Macurdy's stories. They describe growing up in rural Tennessee in a community called Standing Rock Creek, losing a brother in World War II, living in Japan and Spain as a military wife, and losing a son to HIV contracted through a blood transfusion. She includes her interests in birding, art, music, literature, and photography. Stories also touch on politics, religion, and other absurdities such as elderly romance.
