5.0 out of 5 stars Like sitting down with old friends, Feb 3 2003
By apoem "apoem" (Bosque Farms, NM USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book is a joy. It's like having someone sit down and say "I remember..." and off goes the story. These stories are funny and poignent and gentle and enjoyable. These stories really capture the spirit of the South- the faith, the strength and the pride. This book has been added to my bookshelves and will stay there and be enjoyed for years to come. I have even bought a few extras for my relatives down south.

Well worth reading.
Enjoy

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Southern fiction, Dec 26 2002
By A reader "peaseblossom67" (Chatsworth, GA USA) - See all my reviews
I love the title of this book so much! This is a book of stories by Southern women writers. A lot of the stories really struck a chord with me. I laughed. I cried. The stories that stuck with me are "Grandma Tells a Tale," "Fingerprints," "Cookie the One-Eyed Horse," "Grandpapa's Garden," and "Sweet Tea." They are everything that is good about Southern fiction: strong sense of place, interesting characters, tug at your heartstrings, quirky, and just plain Southern.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like sitting on the porch and chatting with friends, Jun 21 2002
By Mary G. Longorio "Texasbookgirl" (Eagle Mountain, UT) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is my kind of book, good stories and great recipes! Several 'southern' writers have gathered their favorites...in both foods and stories and these stories make for a wonderful summer's read. From the dilemma of what to do with the (somewhat functional) outhouse that the man of the house just can't let go of, to the rememberences of our first time at Vacation Bible School and the original "what would Jesus do" we all struggled with at a young age, these women have tapped a vein of southern storytelling that runs sweet and deep. Some will have you laughing out loud, some will send you back in time, but all are infused with a real knowledge and love for the south. Danna Ball, Sandra Chastain, Debra Dixon, Virginia Ellis, Nancy Knight and Deborah Smith combined for the 16 stories tht will enchant any lover of southern fiction.
