Local doctor's hilarious new book available now

Bill Keeton is an Atlanta doctor with family ties to Norcross, including a grandson who is a Senior at Norcross High School. Dr. Keeton's new memoir, "A Boy Called Combustion", 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 the former head anesthesiologist at Dekalb Medical Center and is currently practicing with Pain Consultants of Atlanta where he is an expert on the treatment of chronic pain. "A Boy Called Combustion" is available in both trade paperback and Kindle e-book formats on Amazon.com. Find out more about book at www.billkeeton.com
