Go to hell Ole Miss Jeff Barry - First edition - Austin, Texas Greenleaf Book Group Press 2024 - 342 pages 24cm

To what lengths will a father go to save his daughter? John, a former POW in WWII, thinks women are smarter than men. The three women in his life agree, especially when he brags about knowing more Shakespeare than anyone else in Hope Springs, Mississippi. Big John is overly proud of the only seven words of Shakespeare that he knows: The prince of darkness is a gentleman. When Big John and his wife learn their beloved daughter has been beaten to the point of death by the man Big John pressured her to marry, he needs only three of these words: prince, darkness, and gentleman. Set in the Mississippi hill country in the early 1970s, Go to Hell Ole Miss tells the story of a father’s willingness to do almost anything to save his daughter from the Southern gentleman he had pressured her to marry. Almost anything. --
