(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 12, 2018 ) Denver, CO and Jacksonville, FL – Oscar Patton, PhD, author of the wildly popular Satilla County series, is pleased to announce the release of the eighth book: Rachel’s Search: A Satilla County Novel. All of Patton’s books are slice-of-life stories from the transition period between the Old South and the New. Rachel’s Search has been published by Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company.

In Rachel’s Search, the Klan returns, and a woman goes missing. When Boston-born journalist Rachel Mellon is challenged by her editor to experience for herself life in Satilla County and to track the emergence of the new Klan, what she discovers is life as lived in south Georgia in the early twentieth century—the bad and the good. But her investigation takes a personal and horrifying turn when her best friend, Eve, disappears.
Is the second coming of the Klan more fuel on a fire already burning out of control, as Rachel believes? And will Eve be found…alive?

Rachel searches for answers in the red clay and wiregrass of Satilla County.

Oscar Patton, PhD is a retired college professor who lives and writes on his south Georgia farm. He says, “I use history, memory and imagination to create south Georgia stories with universal, timeless themes. As William Faulkner put it, I write about the ‘human heart in conflict with itself.’”
