What Happens Next?: A Life's True Tale Kindle Edition

by Billy Ray Chitwood (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.0 out of 5 stars (1)
A non-fictional memoir that covers the author's time in East Tennessee and his whirlwind education in the big world of neon lights, gin mills, pretty ladies, acting, television, stage, and film. It is also a book that takes a remarkably honest look at some mistakes and triumphs. It is a story that has depth beneath the glitter of shiny piano bars and lovely women, beneath a family disconnect and sorrowful musings. The book reveals the author's relationships in his life, the lamenting moments of despair and loneliness, the never-ending search for meaning, his faith, and the brutal assessments of who he really is. It has the family disconnect, even murder and suicide, and there is always a candor that is both refreshing and shocking in its self-analyses. In the end, it is likely a bio not so different from everyman... just changes in circumstance and event.

Review

Just out September, 2012 --- no outside reviews at this point.

From the Author

This is one of those books that begs to be written, regardless of embarrassing implications and a lot of lamenting. For me it is an attempt at cleansing, just getting as much out as possible. Perhaps it is not so noble but, for me, it needed to be written. Another fictional memoir of mine, "The Cracked Mirror - Reflections Of An Appalachian Son" was pretty much all true and has some similar themes as "What Happens Next? A Life's True Tale." Someone could accurately say: 'Why write more about your life?' For me there was more to be said. The loves in my life were so special and there was the need to somehow sanctify them. Is it simply an ego thing? Maybe it is, but that is not on my conscious level. My dear wife was encouraging in my writing of this book and knows I love her. It is more an extension of "The Cracked Mirror," and I will leave it at that.

I wanted to explore my faith, how it had changed from those long ago bible belt days in Appalachia when church was not a pleasant Sunday morning outing, when the preacher made me feel unclean and bound for hell, when I was actually a nice timid kid who was all confused in my little boy world. Hence, the title, "What Happens Next? A Life's True Tale." I wanted to make sense of faith for me and present my simplistic arguments built around some 'markers' that we can all see and understand, around generational preoccupation with life and death. I wanted to explore more thoroughly my 'family disconnect' after joining the navy, to allow all those emotions to flow from within me onto the laptop pages.

Was there 'Cleansing?' There are no great alterations in my life, but I do feel better having written the book.
