Eleven people occupied the two-bedroom house rented from the textile mill where his grandmother worked. After his father abandoned the family, Patrick’s grandfather, a musician and songwriter who painted houses to care for his family, became the inspiration for McWhorter's creative bent. When his mother remarried, the brood moved to a residence built underneath the screen of a drive-in theater. After high school, his college aspirations were postponed due to military service that included a year in Vietnam. Afterward, he returned to Georgia, earned a degree in Journalism, and began a career in advertising that would span more than 35 years. He has been married for 28 years to his lovely wife, Laurie. They have two wonderful sons, 25 and 21. Recently retired from an advertising agency, the author has published a print book about faith (Faith is a Three-Legged Stool) and has written six novels. He spends his spare time working with his wife in a resale business, and enjoys hobbies such as backpacking and journalling. He occasionally teaches Christian classes at a nursing home and at a street mission. McWhorter sometimes publishes under the pen name, P. V. Mack.view less
