I've always enjoyed the authors stories on the last page of Southern Living every month, I never knew he had a whole book of his articles, I'm so glad I found this book! It's really enjoyable, he has a wonderful way of telling you about something and making you feel as if you're a part of the story. It's "Southern" for sure!!!

Great stories with many of them from The Southern Living Magazine essays that are always there at the back. Love his writing. The author is a wonderful story teller and his writings will warm your heart and help you understand Southern people, especially those from prior generations and how difficult they had it. I would recommend all his books.

I picked up this book, used and then fell in love! After that, I purchased ALL of Rick Bragg's books for myself and for my sister who lives in Maine. Rick talks about about a kind of poor I had not heard of, and how it affected his life. This book should be read first, and then the others. He saviors life and would drive hours to get the best fish sandwich ever made. His father was in and out of their lives, just long enough to get his mama pregnant once again. Bragg finds humor is most anything. What a fabulous writer.

I enjoy Rick Braggs' writing style and subject matter pertaining to his life and the area around the foothills of the Appalachia. This book is a series of formally published magazine articles, but all are true to Bragg's characteristic manner of telling the life of the common people and his involvement in their lives. This book is ideal for people who like short reads, and they can pick the book up later and start a new story.
