"A truly down-home Southern collection of stories!"

Being the dyed-in-the wool born and bred Southerner that I am, I'm always on the look out for good southern books. MOSSY CREEK is one such book.

This book is a collection of stories about the fictional town of Mossy Creek, Georgia and the surrounding towns, especially Bigelow, Mossy Creek's biggest rival. We begin with the story of Mayor Ida Hamilton Walker, the town's matriarch who feels she must live up to her name. That's just the beginning of this truly magically charming book about the upstanding and not so upstanding citizens of Mossy Creek.

As I read these stories, I felt as if I were reading about my friends and neighbors. I was born and raised in a small southern town so I could relate to the down-home flavor of each and every story. All of the stories were just so true to life and told with just a touch of humor, including even the saddest of these truly wonderful stories.

I highly recommend this truly spectacular collection of stories told by such fabulous authors as Deborah Smith, Sandra Chastain, Donna Ball, Debra Dixon, Nancy Knight and Virginia Ellis. This is a truly 'make you feel good' book.
