Southern Man -- Trailer II (Short)
At thirty-two, Troy Stevenson is a corporate
vice-president and a former college football star who must confront an
old family secret that underlies his nascent alcohol abuse or he may lose
his wife and the son and daughter he deeply loves. When his latent destructiveness
is unleashed and impacts his family, he moves to their lakeside cottage
to come to grips with his personal weaknesses.
But busybodies at his company assume
he moved to the cottage because his marriage is in trouble. Encouraged
by the assumption, co-worker Brooke Emerson, an amoral, 1980s material
girl romantically obsessed with Troy, begins to stalk him....
Connie Chastain, who grew up a preacher's kid in Georgia and Alabama, is a ninth-generation Southerner. A former staff writer for The Florida Sun, she lives in west Florida with her husband, Tommy. Southern Man is the first in a series of novels set in her native Georgia.
