This is a metaphorical story, based on a true story, of a Woodpecker in his search for freedom and purpose. What he did not realize that freedom had a price that almost cost his life on more than one occasion. In the Woodpeckers journey from childhood being discontent that he had to live in a hole and with his arrangement of feathers He sought out many different birds. One summer afternoon the young Woodpecker and two Geese that he had became friends with discovered the forbidden fruit of young fowl, the Grape (alcohol). The Grape was the answer to all the fears in the world. The Grape had power and gave him freedom from his mind. After the Woodpeckers first escape from reality He was addicted to Grapes. In his pursuit of what He thought happiness was, like things of this material world, for instance, gold, diamonds, and seed which is money. The Woodpeckers becomes dishonest to himself and others, therefore, erects the walls of jails. Being a jailbird with contempt prior to investigation he learns to resent and hate Blackbirds from other birds that were not black and known as "Peckerwoods." Hence, He becomes a "Peckerwood" as well. After getting out of jail the Woodpecker finds himself in a deep and always progressive state of addiction. He resents everything in this vast world and is beyond buzzed. The place where the Grape use to take him, joyous intimacy with friends, grandiose ideas, and freedom was not there. He often proceeded to go beyond boundaries set in the normal society of birds who could partake in the Grape. After the Woodpeckers second trip to see the Grey Parrots (doctors). The Parrots inform him that he has chronic Grapism (alcoholism) and that there is no cure for thisdisease. Although, there is hope and it is called "Grapes anonymous." There He meets a Blackbird the very one he learned to hate in jail yet never knew why. The Blackbird informs him that the only solution to addiction is from a loving God. After going through the same spiritual steps the Blackbird went through to recover. He's overcome with God's grace; joy, love, and peace flow within him, He feels unconditional love for the blackbird. He sees love in the very air that gives him life. The Woodpecker became to believe in God, utterly abandons himself to God and discovers himself, whom He always was, a child of God. "Peckerwood Grape the Woodpecker" In His tumultuous journey from fear to faith He was given a new life and transformed into a breathtaking new world where even the broken paths he flew made sense. He finds purpose in a life that was merely an existence. He takes action and uses his pecker to carve stories and peck pictures to help others know about and to recover from this fatal disease. It's by giving the gifts he has received through God, the fruits of the spirit and a life where all things are new he is blessed. As a result of loving God with all his heart mind body and soul He receives an incredibly abundant life beyond His hearts desires.

PREFACE THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE JOHN HOWARD GRIFFIN. AS THE WHITE AUTHOR OF THE 1960'S BEST SELLER, "BLACK LIKE ME," HE UNDERSTOOD THE MEANING OF RACIAL PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION. HIS WAS NOT THE UNDERSTANDING THAT COMES FROM THE INTELLECTUAL DETACHMENT OF OBJECTIVE AND SAFE OBSERVATION. HIS UNDERSTANDING WAS BASED ON THE DIRECT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE RESULTING FROM AN ACTUAL CHANGE IN SKIN COLOR. IT WAS THIS DIRECT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT GAVE HIM THE UNIQUE STATUS OF BEING AN INDIVIDUAL WHO PERSONALLY UNDERSTOOD RACIAL INJUSTICE FROM BOTH THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE DOMINATE GROUP AND THE SUBORDINATE GROUP. PHRASES LIKE "WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES" AND "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU," BECOME MORE THAN MERE VERBAL IDEALISM WHEN USED TO DESCRIBE THE RACIAL CROSSOVER THAT GRIFFIN REALIZED. ONLY THE MOST CALLOUS OF INDIVIDUALS WOULD REMAIN STEADFAST IN SUPPORT OF BIGOTRY WHEN THE "TABLES ARE TURNED" AND THEY BECOME THE VICTIMS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK IS TO "TURN THE TABLES," PUT ONE IN "ANOTHER'S SHOES," AND TO ENCOURAGE SERIOUS INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT ABOUT RACE RELATIONS AND THE ROLE OF THE INDIVIDUAL IN SOCIETY. IF THAT IS ACHIEVED, THEN MAYBE SOCIETAL PROBLEMS OF RACE CAN BE MINIMIZED BY THE ACTIONS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO COME TO UNDERSTAND THE PHRASE "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" FOR WHAT IT TRULY IS – THE GOLDEN RULE, IN THE CULTURE OF THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES (THE "OLD SOUTH") PRIOR TO THE LAST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY, THE WORD "PECKERWOOD" WAS A DEROGATORY TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE POOR CLASS OF SOUTHERN WHITE FARMERS. IT IS A REVERSAL OF THE NAME FOR A BIRD (THE RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER). A NOTED CHARACTERISTIC OF THE BIRD WAS A PATCH OF RED ON THE BACK OF IT'S HEAD AND NECK. POOR SOUTHERN WHITE FARMERS WERE OFTEN SUNBURNED ON THE NECK. HENCE, THE TERMS "PECKERWOOD" AND "REDNECK" ORIGINATED AS REFLECTIONS OF THAT EXPOSURE TO TOO MUCH SUN. THE NOVELIST STEPHEN LONGSTREET IS QUOTED AS SAYING "ANY WHITE MAN FROM THE SOUTH IS A PECKERWOOD." THIS BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WORD IS BASED ON INFORMATION FROM THE NEW DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN SLANG, BY ROBERT L. CHAPMAN PH.D (HARPER AND ROW, N.Y., 1986). I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE USE OF RACIALLY DEROGATORY TERMS WITH THE INTENTION OF BEING DEROGATORY AND THEIR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A LITERARY WORK. THIS DISTINCTION BECOMES CLEAR WHEN THE PURPOSE OF THAT LITERARY WORK IS TO MINIMIZE THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDES THAT RESULT IN THE USE OF SUCH TERMS FOR THE EXPRESSED PURPOSE OF BEING DEROGATORY. THIS IS THE SPIRIT IN WHICH I USE THE WORD "PECKERWOOD" THROUGHOUT THIS BOOK.
