Cemetery Visit Inspires Novel
Tom Wiley visited a cemetery near Meridian, Mississippi which inspired him to write The Angels of Lockhart. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal has an article/review talking about the author's inspiration and giving a brief summary of the book. It sounds like a "must read" for family historians.

Sounds like a very sad story. We had a similar story here not that long ago that involved exhumations and daily heartbreak on the evening news followed by the conviction of the children's mother.
