Ratings and reviews

The cure for a homesick southerner. Perfection in written pages. I grew up in birmingham alabama due to me being gay and the south being the south. I have had to leave it. But ohhhhh. How i miss it. A true southerner. Can and will survive if nothing else. We. Will make it by. And this book is true to form if what i know of the south. I am not an avid book reader but this. Caught my eye just because of its placement in borders books and won ny heart in the summary.

One of my favorite books!
