"Karen Stone is a true professional who takes great pride in her work. Without her help,, my book would not have been published. She made positive suggestions regarding wording, pictures, and book cover. She is, in my opinion, a caring person and an outstanding editor."    David Combs
The lifestory of a boy from Comer's Creek in Grayson County, Virginia, is often humorous, yet provides valuable insight into the role of a conscientious correctional professional.
