"A lovely book, with a certain gritty grandeur . . . This is a worthy successor to All Over but the Shoutin'." -Larry McMurtry "Rick Bragg has written a powerful and poignant book about his kin, the kind of people we hear about too seldom . . . At the end I shared Rick's pride and awe of what his family had endured." -Tom Brokaw From the Hardcover edition., "A lovely book, with a certain gritty grandeur . . .

Synopsis
With the same emotional generosity and effortlessly compelling storytelling that made All Over But the Shoutin' a national bestseller, Rick Bragg continues his personal history of the Deep South. This time he's writing about his grandfather Charlie Bundrum, a man who died before Bragg was born but left an indelible imprint on the people who loved him. Drawing on their memories, Bragg reconstructs the life of an unlettered roofer who kept food on his family's table through the worst of the Great Depression; a moonshiner who drank exactly one pint for every gallon he sold; an unregenerate brawler, who could sit for hours with a baby in the crook of his arm. In telling Charlie's story, Bragg conjures up the backwoods hamlets of Georgia and Alabama in the years when the roads were still dirt and real men never cussed in front of ladies. A masterly family chronicle and a human portrait so vivid you can smell the cornbread and whiskey, Ava's Man is unforgettable.

    It took almost a month to get to me, but the package seemed to have been held up with the post office, so it wasn’t the sellers fault. Packaging was great, item as described and the value couldn’t be beat. Thanks again

    The author sums up real life reflections of the south. Will be reading more of this author.

    The description of people and surrounding elements bring every moment to life.
