Mama Makes Up Her Mind : And Other Dangers of Southern Living

Rating:
Summary: Excellent.
Review: This is the first book by Bailey White I have ever read and I intend to find all her other writings, because this is one of the finest books I have read in many years. I am European and I find this writing to provide wonderful insight into Southern states atmosphere. The book is entertaining, delightful, exquisitely humorous. In addition, there is a complete lack of the tiresome agendas so prevalent in current books. I have read the book twice now, and intend to read it again when I need a reminder that life's many facets are all worth relishing and (re)discovering. I have read sections to others who enjoyed it just as much as I have. Let this book entertain and even teach you a thing or two.

Summary: First-rate writing
Review: What a little gem this book is.

The brevity of the essays belies the craft behind each one. Devoid of precious moments and smarminess, the book nonetheless paints a warm portrait of the author's world in miniature.

I read a lot. This book is one of the best I've come across in ages. Bravo!

Summary: Witty, Fun & Hysterical!!
Review: White is the mistress of humorous essay! Drawing from life experience and no-doubt dressing it up perhaps a little, she brings out the laughter of many familial situations as she grew up in the South even sugar coating (successfully) some of the bad stuff and making it the most funniest and entertaining reading experience I've ever had!

Summary: What a hoot!
Review: You will laugh out loud! An easy read with several short stories to read/put down/ pick up any time. Especially funny for those familiar with south Georgia! You will relate to Bailey White's vivid examples of Southern living.
