True Crime Tuesday presents With The Devil's Help: A True Story of Poverty, Mental Illness, and Murder with Author Neal Wooten!
\n
\nNeal Wooten grew up in a tiny community atop Sand Mountain, Alabama, where everyone was white and everyone was poor. Prohibition was still embraced. If you wanted alcohol, you had to drive to Georgia or ask the bootlegger sitting next to you in church. Tent revivals, snake handlers, and sacred harp music were the norm, and everyone was welcome as long as you weren\u2019t Black, brown, gay, atheist, Muslim, a damn Yankee, or a Tennessee Vol fan.
\n
\nThe Wooten's lived a secret existence in a shack in the woods with no running water, no insulation, and almost no electricity. Even the school bus and mail carrier wouldn\u2019t go there. Neal\u2019s family could hide where they were, but not what they were. They were poor white trash. Cops could see it. Teachers could see it. Everyone could see it.
\n
\nGrowing up, Neal was weaned on folklore legends of his grandfather\u2014his quick wit, quick feet, and quick temper.\xa0 He discovers how this volatile disposition led to a murder, a conviction, and ultimately to a daring prison escape and a closely guarded family secret.
\n
\nBeing followed by a black car with men in black suits was as normal to Neal as using an outhouse, carrying drinking water from a stream, and doing homework by the light of a kerosene lamp. And Neal\u2019s father, having inherited the very same traits of his father, made sure the frigid mountain winters weren\u2019t the most brutal thing his family faced. Neal joins TCT to talk a bit about his family history, life story, and lessons learned from that history!
