Within the pages of this novel, readers will encounter a writer whose voice and work is dissimilar to other novelists and realize they have found a new and rare jewel. DRUM ROLL is a portrait of individuals in crisis after the death of Samuel Worthington, the owner of several stores in the South who dies intestate. It is also the story of his daughter, Cady Worthington, who has an unnatural feeling and love for "The Oaks," the family home in Macon, Georgia. This is also a story about the winds of change in the now South, but makes the reader feel he is reading a book about the "old South." This is a story about love, hate, incest, and tragedy that encompasses the remaining Worthington family. Dola, the cook, who likes her "special tea," and who readers will be especially fond, plays a major roll throughout this novel.
