The Prince of Frogtown

In the final volume of the Pulitzer Prize-winner's bestselling and beloved American saga that began with All Over but the Shoutin' and continued with Ava's Man, this "evocative family memoir" (Boston Globe) delivers an unforgettable rumination about fathers and sons.

Bragg documents a mesmerizing journey back in time to the lush Alabama landscape of his youth, to Jacksonville's one-hundred-year-old mill and to his father, the troubled, charismatic hustler coming of age in its shadow.

Inspired by Rick Bragg's love for his stepson, The Prince of Frogtown also chronicles his own journey into fatherhood, as he learns to avoid the pitfalls of his forebearers. With candor, insight, and tremendous humor, Bragg seamlessly weaves these luminous narrative threads together.
