I just googled all manner of names and phrases re your request, can't find anything. Tell you what, though, you might contact LemuriaBooks.com, ask them. It's a humongous bookstore in Jackson, MS, never seen so much Southern paraphernalia in my life. There's also a Mississippi Writers Page located here: The Mississippi Writers Page, do a little searching, you might find something. Good Luck!

I've looked at countless websites and I can't find a single thing. Is there anymore information that you remember or know about the book to help me search to find it?

All I know is that the woman who wrote the book was from Maben.The woman that was killed was her family.In retaliation ,the woman's family killed this doctor that was practicing in Eupora with Dr.Booth back in the 1980's.This doctor was dating the woman that was killed.

I just googled Dr. Booth Eupora MS, and did come up with a Dr. James Booth there in Eupora. Only other thing I could suggest is contacting Dr. Booth, himself. What was the doctor's name who was killed?

Evidently, at least from what I can discern, either there is no such "book", or what she published was on her own time. If there is a book "published", I'm pretty sure there would be at least an ISBN number. Again, Good Luck in your search.

I also just wrote an acquaintance in Eupora, see if he knows anything about it. If he replies, I'll post the same here.

I just received a reply from my friend in Eupora, who desires not to be included in the conversation at this time. I'll give you part and parcel of what we communicated:

"I found Deana White, but she's now Deana Miller, and they live in Tupelo. She did write the book, Southern Justice, however, it was written in the 90's, and so far, from what she has told me it's total fiction, but her mother also told me that there was a lot of truth incorporated into it. She took my number and said that she'll call me back this afternoon. I'll let you know what I get from her conversation." This was relayed to me this morning, before lunch.

He sent this mid-afternoon: "You know, when I asked her about the validity of facts in the book, she told me it was fiction, but what she doesn;t know is that her mother had already told me, whicle I spoke to her that there was a girl who had been murdered in Maben, and that there was a lot of truth in it, but I'm not really convinced that it had anything to do with Dr. Booth, or that the guy worked for him. As you know, crimes here, unlike in Dallas and larger places have a higher possibility of going unsolved.........."

Lastly, here is what he sent about 30 minutes ago: "How strange! I spoke to the lady, Dena White Miller about the book, Southern Justice. Now this is what she told me. The story was set in the coal mining country of Central Kentucky, and there was no murder. She told me that she's not sure where you made the connection with a girl being murdered, and mentioning Dr. Booth, however, she said she does remember Dr. Booth, but he wasn;t mentioned in the book. Her book, according to her is purely fictional, and not connected or tied to Maben, Mississippi."

So it appears the book is in fact fiction, eh? It also appears that the author was from Maben when it was written, and that she now lives in Tupelo.

Hopefully, we have "solved" your dilemma?

Well, the info I gave you above is all I can give you. Good Luck in your search.

Please try contacting a librarian...they have amazing resources to find things like this. Obviously the title or something is incorrect or I'd think it could be found even in out of print books...but reference librarians can come up with some of the most obscure stuff.

I am familiar with Eupora and the surrounding area. To the best of my knowledge this book which you seek, may exist, however, having spoken with the author, Dena White, I am advised that this book is purely one of fiction, and is based in Kentucky rather than Mississippi. Could it be that you may have this book confused with yet another? I'm not implying that you do, merely asking. I personally know Dr. Booth, and unless he had partners in the 80's, of which I wasn;t here during that time, I'm at a total loss.

I'd like to hear more, but I've asked, and no one that was here during that time remembers anything like that. I do recall a lady that was killed, although once again, I wasn't in the area then, and who at the time of her death, she was supposedly having an affair with a dentist who was supposed working in this area. Even with this, the dentist is still alive.

Let me hear, please.
