DON NOBLE: Childhood accident has lifelong consequences in novel The Tuscaloosa News © Provided by Tuscaloosa News Don Noble
Back in 2003, Tom Franklin opened his wonderful novel “Hell at the Breech” with a scene in which a young man drowns a sack full of kittens in a stream.

Susan Zurenda opens her novel “Bells for Eli” with an equally distressing scene. In fictional Green Branch, a small town outside of Columbia, South Carolina, in June of 1953, just a day before his third birthday, young Eli Winfield finds what he believes to be a bottle of Coke on his back porch. He drinks it, with horrible consequences.
