Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 10, 2007 -- Borders Bookstore in Douglasville, Georgia presents Atlanta's own Darlene Ford Wofford, (aka The Spirited Southerner), author of "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember." The spirited southern author will be discussing and signing her novel Saturday afternoon, November 10 from 1-4:00. Borders is located at in Arbor Place Mall at 6594 Douglas Blvd, Douglasville, GA 30135 I-20 West and their phone number is 770-577-9787.

Based on true events in the her life, "An Assignment to Remember" is the first of three novels in the author's "Edgewise" series, with "Seven Years 'Til Sunrise," scheduled for release next year, followed by the third in 2009-10. The term "Edgewise" is used to describe the book's protagonist as a young Atlanta woman whose mind has shut down to block out back-to-back traumatic events, however other memories of her life are blocked, as well. Told through the eyes of the author's alter ego, "An Assignment to Remember" is not as much about the events as it is the inspiring story about triumph over tragedy, her recovery as a healing progression, and the prevailing strength of unconditional love. The Midwest Book Review describes the novel as, "An inspired tribute to the strength of the human spirit, and of working through a process of recovery to overcome the wounds that life can inflict upon us without warning." 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." Denna Shelton of Twenty Gems sums it up nicely in her review, "Edgewise took me on an emotional journey of laughter, sorrow and hope."

Both Darlene and Carl, her husband of 40-plus years are Atlanta natives currently residing in Acworth, Georgia. They have two sons, Kenneth and Cory.
