3 1/2 starsFun little 2-6 page pieces about her life in Georgia. Great book to have around for nights of insomnia when you need something light and not too taxing. Most of the funniest pieces are the ones about her mom, early in the book. "Porsche" and "Birth of the Blues" made me laugh out loud....
Read a while ago but I remember liking it!
I love listening to White on the radio. Imagine my shock to discover she's about fifty years younger than she sounds. Just as funny in print.
