On my run today in our neighborhood, I passed by a Little Free Library and had to take a peek. While rummaging through the shelves, I found this book and knew it was meant for me. I ended up finishing my 4 miler all while gripping my new treasure in my hand. I must add that I love the fact that my shoes and this book matched!

Fun stories about the author‘s life as a southern woman, wife, and mother ranging from home renovation mishaps to 9 year old sleepover drama.

Slow meditative look at a woman's life in N.C., from about age 20 to 94, from her viewpoint, well-written and full of family secrets, problems like dark depression, and thoughts on race relations, forgiveness, etc. I recommend it, but it's the only fiction I've read by him. I've heard, Kate Vaiden, is good also. This may not be for those who want something fast or exciting. (Totally opposite from the last book I've read.)

Tamra Sounds interesting! Stacked 3y
KCofKaysville @Tamra. It's pretty good, but it's probably better to read Kate Vaiden first. 3y

• Ah, this book gives me the feel and flavor of the country I most want to visit someday: Italy!! My ancestors are from this beautiful country and I love reading about it, especially in fiction 😍 Take me away, Pat Conroy •

Maybe more than most people want to know about William Faulkner... #nakedbookspines #riotgrams #biography #faulkner

Leftcoastzen Wow! Guess I did not know there was a two volume biography of him . 5y
laytonwoman3rd It's definitive...published in the early '70's. I saw it in the bookstore when it came out, and bought it with grocery money. I thought I was being pretty irresponsible at the time. My only regret now is that I discarded the dust jackets! 5y
Leftcoastzen Wow , It‘s funny how Book lovers can remember almost every detail when they were a little extravagant . But for me , only regrets were the ones I didn‘t get. 5y

This was a great, quick read a good addition to the series. It makes me want to read more from #KenWells which shouldn't be too hard since this was published more than 15 years ago 😳
