Through Old Ground is a collection of stories from the life of Dr. Randy Cross, a small-town Southerner turned English professor and author, most notable for his work with T. S. Stribling's autobiography, Laughing Stock. Dr. Cross grew up in St. Joseph, Tennessee, where he gained the strong foundation upon which he relied throughout his adventures as a two-time Fulbright Scholar and beyond.
With his down-to-earth narrative style, Dr. Cross describes various memories and events in his life, infusing each chapter with his incredible wit and humor. Beginning in his childhood, the book progresses through Dr. Cross's adulthood, reflecting on lessons he has learned and significant people who have been a part of his life.
Through Old Ground transports readers into a world full of nostalgia and heart, reminding us that no matter how far away from our roots we may find ourselves, they will always remain with us and call us back home.
