About the Book

In 1957, St John's High School prepares to send yet another class into the wider world -- an unusual class. Even the Principal finds them interesting, but of course he won't let on. Rumor is rife in Darlington in the '50s because so much is happening. The event that causes the most rumors is missing from COUNTY 1950s CONDENSED. In COUNTY (the original, expanded version), clues appear, but nothing more. COUNTY is written for insiders and for readers who lived in the Pee Dee through the 1950s. COUNTY 1950s CONDENSED is written for outsiders who watched and may even have participated in Darlington's and the Pee Dee's events of the '50s but never lived here. Events like this: the first big-time race track in the world for stock cars --Darlington International Raceway, now known as the Granddaddy of 'em all, the Track Too Tough To Tame. Racing fans will learn from either book. Nothing about the racetrack is Condensed out. But a book written by a teenager is more. It's about life and people, not just parades, beach parties, and the Senior Play. It's about how it feels to live in a coastal plain subject to hurricanes, it's about what a town lives on and how it works, and about unexpected losses and unexpected gains. It's about teenagers, school, and the town that brings them together.
About the Author: M B Spears is Memory. She knows what she's talking about, she knows the people who can relive the facts with her, and she can evaluate. This is not the 1950s from research in books. This is history from people who're there -- who not only lived through it all but who live there now. This is not about the '50s; this IS the '50s. Like M B Spears' earlier book, MINERAL SPRINGS ROAD, set in a farm community in the 1940s, COUNTY makes you believe. COUNTY 1950s Condensed will also make you believe, but with fewer people and fewer actions. In other words, it won't worry you as much about things you can't do anything about. So if you want a quicker read (and maybe a better written book), try COUNTY 1950s Condensed. As long as you never read COUNTY, you won't know you're missing a thing.
