Rating:
Summary: What a hoot!
Review: This book is a wonderful snapshot of a southern woman at her best. Mama is a character that you won't soon forget. A collection of short stories featuring Mama's antics. You will laugh out loud.

Rating:
Summary: Great writer
Review: This book is full of wonderful short stories or essays about Ms. White's life and those around here. It is a book I thumb through again and again. Being a southerner, I laughed out loud as I recognized some of the characters as being like people I know. Bailey's Mama was apparently quite a character. One of my favorite chapters is "A husband or something like it". I chuckle just thinking about it.

Rating:
Summary: First-rate writing
Review: What a little gem this book is.

The brevity of the essays belies the craft behind each one. Devoid of precious moments and smarminess, the book nonetheless paints a warm portrait of the author's world in miniature.

I read a lot. This book is one of the best I've come across in ages. Bravo!
