"Happy Birthday, D.J." is a spellbinding novel about a handsome, athletic boy, D.J. Johnson, who is injured in a tragic fire. What's worse, he loses his memory about who he is, where he is, why he is. His hometown of Vidalia, La., rallies to help him rediscover hiself. This novel is bound to warm even the coldest heart.

Review: "D.J.'s story is special that it not only happens in a central Louisiana-area city - Vidalia - but the city becomes a character within itself. 'Happy Birthday, D.J.' is filled with emotional twists and turns, some sad, some humorous. The beauty of this story is that, to some extent, it actually could happen."

"D.J.'s story has touched a lot of hearts ..." - Alexandria, La., Daily Town Talk
