Between the CreeksRoy Cooper's father has written a memoir.

Roy Cooper Jr. (the attorney general is the III) wrote a book called "Between the Creeks: My Sapony Adventures," a collection of stories about his childhood in Nash County in the 1920s and '30s.

Republicans hoping for a tell-all about the possible Senate candidate are out of luck. Most take place decades before he was born.

The 24 stories in the book include Cooper's adventures with a "fish whisperer," riding to school on the back of a mule and planting a peach orchard by himself.

A recent review in "Our State" magazine said the book "draws from the days when familes gathered to tell and retell generations worth of stories." Former Gov. Jim Hunt has also praised the book.

The attorney general and his brother Pell will speak at an event promoting the book at the Matthews House in Cary on April 5 from 3 to 5 p.m.

The 200-page hardcover is available on Amazon for $19.95.

You're kidding right....North Carolina actually has an Attorney General?

What does he do to earn his salary?
