Media Reviews

Tucson Citizen, 3/26/09
Pass the corn pone and enjoy.

Columbia State, 4/19/09
Funny essays...and White's mama...is amusing enough all on her own.

Augusta Metro Spirit, 5/20/09
A stunning display of Southern hilarity...Those in search of heart, humor, and intriguing characters could do a lot worse than the life of White.

Bookviews.com, July 2009
A celebration of the South...For fellow Southerners it will resonate with many memories of this unique region.

Option, 8/15/11 A trip back to Flannery O'Connor territory, with perhaps a side route to Capote-land.
