You Can't Play Outside . . . Priscilla Sullins

This is a story of murder and retribution in the 1950s, in Georgia. It is a journey back to innocence and morality in which the reader will be shown a tableau of life in a small southern town when the baby boomers were children. As the story of kidnap, rape and murder unfolds, the horror and rage generated during that era will be evident, and the swiftness of the arrest and subsequent trial will be astounding to most. It is an expedience unheard of today. Written in the true crime genre, the book provides the reader a glimpse into the not so distant past when life was simpler and stranger abductions were not an everyday occurrence. It paints a picture of a time, place and a justice system far removed from that to which we have become accustomed. The authors extensively researched the crime and ensuing trial, but much of the regional flavor and historical data of their small town was compiled from their childhood memories and memories of family and friends. With its regional appeal and tale of crime and punishment, this book should attract a wide audience.
