Book Two
Tommy Mack: Unsettled Years
Following the tumultuous years, as explained in Tommy Mack: An Appalachian Childhood, Myrtle Dixon moved her brood (the youngest seven of ten) to an apartment in the quiet suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware. It was a time when hopes were high: hopes for a new life, a simpler and more peaceful life, a life free from the trauma of an alcoholic and abusive husband and father.
Tommy Mack: Unsettled Years, is a coming-of-age story about the trials of relocation to a strange town "upnorth." Tom's family lives through wonderful, strange, and hectic times when personal, family, and national issues seemed troubling and sometimes overwhelming. The conflicts and violence that had been so pervasive during Tom's early Appalachian childhood don't magically disappear, they just arrive in new forms. It seems - without question - it will take love, perseverance, and God’s graces, for the Dixons to enjoy good times and ultimately prosper as a family.
The second of four planned memoirs, Tommy Mack: Unsettled Years (346 pages) continues the exposition on a young man and his family’s nostalgic, sad, funny, and heartwarming struggle through puberty, poverty, delinquency, and abuse (1964-1976).
