Real life in the South!

This is a beautiful and honest rendition of life in the South in the 20's, 30's, and earlier. As someone born and bred in the Deep South I can tell you that it is such a fun and nostalgic book and if you are interested in what the Old South was like, and oftentimes still is, you will love this book. It will transport you to where the sweet magnolias blossom by your door, and best of all it is authentic. ❤️
