Local doctor's hilarious new book available now

Bill Keeton, a respected Atlanta doctor whose daughter lives in Gwinnett County, has written a new memoir, "A Boy Called Combustion", which celebrates the adventures of childhood, the bonds of family, and the joys of life in the 1940s South. Both heartwarming and hilarious, the book's linked stories savor the vivid imagination behind a child's comic exploits, the wisdom gained in the aftermath, and the colorful family and friends who shared both the lessons and the fun. 



"A Boy Called Combustion" is a memoir deeply rooted in the Mississippi of the 1940s, where folks never cook from prepared mixes and kids have a weekly date with the movie serials. Yet it is also a timeless American story of life, love, laughter, maturation, and the gifts of family strength. Anyone who has ever planned a childhood prank...suffered the punishment that followed...experienced the delights and challenges of a large extended family...or looked back with gratitude at the influence of remarkable role models, will enjoy and be inspired to relive their own pasts through its pages.

A native of Fondren, MS, and a graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, Bill Keeton is a former anesthesiologist and expert on the treatment of chronic pain who practices with Pain Consultants of Atlanta. "A Boy Called Combustion" is available in both trade paperback and Kindle e-book formats on Amazon.com. Find out more about the book at www.billkeeton.com
