Tough Customers and Other Stories: Tales From Tennessee & Southern Appalachia

"How could anybody resist a story that begins "When I was a teen-age girl, I always wanted a man who'd never leave me and a brick ranch house . . ." Mary Hodges' stories are full of life, wit, and wisdom. Swift and to the point, they come to life on the page in a way few writers can manage--it's as if a whole town is talking straight to us! Often hysterically funny, sometimes poignant, always smart, these stories capture small town life in our time. They are important stories, deceptively simple, timeless and true". -- Lee Smith This description may be from another edition of this product.
