In the Great Southern Tradition

Wonderfully written in the best literary tradition of the South. Family saga with all the secrets finally come to light. Couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

Southern Comfort

My Brother Michael is as delicious as a large glass of sweet tea on a hot Florida day! Janis Owens is a wonderful writer, with a skillfully spirited understanding of small- town Southern idiosyncrasies. This poignantly told story of love lost and found, captivates the reader immediatly with its wry Southern comfort and charm.

The untold story of life in the Bible-belt, Florida-style.

This is the untold story of life in the rural south. A fast, well-written story that I cried through the first time. Have read it three times so far and will probably read again when third book comes out.

Excellent, I couldn't put it down.

This is such great reading, I immediately started telling friends. I am retired and read a lot, but this was a very special book; the characters were all so real and there was never a dull page! I already look forward to her next book.

Wow !! What a great book!

Having not read any reviews about this book, I just happened upon it at the library and finished it in two days. I love losing myself in this kind of book. It's one of those books that makes you forget your daily routine.
