If you enjoy the Fannie Flagg stories, well, read this book and rejoice in the fact that Bailey White grew up in this family to relate one heck of a great story! Read full review My favorite are the hungry ghost who eat when everyone is asleep but their smacking and scraping of knives and forks can be heard by the living, who find food missing in the morning and a trail outside between the bushes streaked with silver. Aunt Belle who has a thing about alligators, and uncle Jimbuddy who has a knack for losing pieces of him self.
I had some big laughs because her humor is so infectious with her account of rural southern life with her family and a very, very, odd assortment of relatives and friends! It is a real life Lake Woebegon.gone crazy! Bailey's mama is the center character and and she is a very unique(to say the least!) and charming person who will take you to a juke joint that was so raunchy it scared Ernest Hemingway, and then tuck you into a bed that folds up on you as you're sleeping. Bailey White isn't just an author, she's an original! Her observations of Southern life and tradition from a young girl's point of view are pure genius! She dramatizes so naturally the warmth and humor of her youth.
