Avon's August

A force of unrelenting influence, the South manipulates humans unaware of her power, mesmerized by her pull, afraid of her judgement. She exists throughout time and space, speaking endlessly to the human consciousness. She spins generational tales of sin, disease and death, to anyone who listens, making innocent believers her playthings. Understanding her lie as an illusion is the discovery seventeen-year-old Avon Dewitt must make. That won't be easy. Comfortably insulated from struggle, Avon Dewitt is the first born of a southern truck farmer turned commercial developer. Guaranteed to inherit the real estate, high-classed, smooth-talking Avon dodges his father's abuse but walks headlong into the South's plan. She stirs emotions to a fevered pitch over a red-headed, bombshell woman, causing seemingly irreparable damage between himself and his best friend. His early attempts at finding love seem to fail. But a burgeoning sense of loneliness and a basic goodness motivate Avon Dewitt to seek answers. Lessons of life bring recognition late, raising the questions, 'Is it too late?' And 'Will he succeed?' Travel with Avon to the inner sanctum of his being and the outer reaches of his mission as he discovers that powerful lady, the South, will not easily, if ever, give up her influence on the human heart.
