Life in the South is made up of stories-and Toby Nix has been writing them down for years.
In this collection of newspaper columns, Southern writer and deputy sheriff Toby Nix reflects on family, small-town life, and the everyday moments that somehow turn into the best stories. With humor, honesty, and a storyteller's eye, Nix shares tales from the front porch, the dinner table, and occasionally the front seat of a patrol car.
Part memoir, part slice-of-life, these columns capture the kind of experiences that will feel familiar to anyone who grew up in a small town-or wishes they had.
