Brian Haynes, the third-generation owner of a successful realty company,
who married the owner of an even more successful lumber company,
remembers back to one pivotal summer during his childhood that changed
his perspective on life forever.
Following a frightening premonition from a mysterious neighbor, Brian, believing he has inadvertently contributed to the death of his grandmother's housekeeper, runs away from home with his best friend, Charlie. Aided by their friend Stephanie, the two friends find refuge with an old man living a hermit's life on a nearby knob. The old man teaches the boys the virtues of living a simple life and teaches them even more about letting go of the past and never taking things for granted.
It all comes to a terrifying climax one day when Charlie climbs inside an abandoned, rusty truck, a truck that still has a few chips of red paint, and closes the door. Here begins a struggle between life and death.
Chips of Red Paint is a modern Southern Gothic novel that weaves the past with the present into a colorful quilt that touches every emotion.

One Reviewer Notes:
The book took me back to when I was eight years old, and the way I perceived the world. I was intrigued all the way through and hated to leave the story and the characters. Loved the style of telling the story as the child, then following up as the adult.
