(PRWEB) June 29, 2007 -- Atlanta native, Darlene F. Wofford, author of "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember," continues her summer book tour Saturday, June 30 at Waldenbooks in Buford, Georgia. Waldenbooks is near Belk's on the upper level of the Mall of Georgia, located northeast of Atlanta at 3333 Buford Drive in Buford, GA 30519, (I-85N, exit 315), and their phone number is 678-482-2923. Occupying more than 2.2 million square feet with more than 225 stores on 180 acres on a 535 acre tract, the three-story Mall of Georgia is the largest shopping mall in the state of Georgia, and second largest in the entire Southeastern United States. The author will be greeting guests at the front of the store and signing her novel from 1:00-5:00 p.m. When asked about the upcoming event she shared, "This could be the best stop yet on the tour. It is enormous and very busy. It has become a tourist attraction, and Waldenbooks is situated in a great location, near the food court and the Imax multiplex cinema."

"Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember" is a novel, however based on true events in the author's life. This is the first of three novels in her "Edgewise" series, with the second, "Seven Years 'Til Sunrise," scheduled for release next year, followed by the third in 2009. The term "Edgewise" is used to describe the book's protagonist as a shattered young woman in an edgewise state of mind--driven to the edge by back-to-back traumas.    However, "An Assignment to Remember" is not as much about the life-altering events, as it is about her recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder. Told through the eyes of the author's alter ego, the inspiring story is of healing progression, and the prevailing strength of unconditional love between two people.

To quote Page One Lit literary newsletter, "Wofford is a wonderful writer whose personality and charisma is vivid in every word and sentence in her new book, 'Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember.' This is the most honest, heart-inspiring book of the year. 'Edgewise' is an example of how one woman wants to live in the past but realizes she can't. It is about confronting reality. It is about emotions. It is about communication. It is about life." Wayne Cunningham's review for Foreward Magazine describes Wofford as "a natural-born storyteller." Producer, Denna Shelton sums it up nicely on Barnes and Noble's web site in her review, "Edgewise took me on an emotional journey of laughter, sorrow and hope."

If the name Darlene Wofford rings a bell it may be because she and Carl, her husband of 40 years are both native Atlantans, and along with sons Kenneth and Cory, have been Woodstock/ Acworth residents for 35 years. She has been in the mortgage finance industry for 20 years, and every Saturday morning in 2006 from 10-11:00 a.m., she co-hosted an hour-long Atlanta radio talk-show called "Your Inner Voice." She has also been interviewed recently regarding her novel on several Atlanta radio stations.
