"Doing the Possible" tells the life-story of an early Primitive
Baptist church in the wildness of northeast Alabama, a
late-blooming area of the state that was a sanctuary for Cherokee
Indians being pushed toward extinction. White settlers--prominent
among them the family of William (Billy) Edwards who gave his name
and a tract of land to the new county seat--established in the
inhospitable hills and hollows a thriving church and community.
They built a warm fellowship that was often disrupted by
theological controversy as they set a course quite different from
the "mainstream" church--and once the community was shocked by an
act of physical violence, murder in the churchyard. And there are
glimpses of the backwoods enterprise on which a few members
depended heavily, the profitable conversion of corn into the
moonshine for which the area is noted. But mostly it is a story of
plain, hardy people living and loving together.
