Set in the also fictional town of Greenburg, South Carolina, it works off of Cappy's personal memories of her youth.
The stories switch back and forth between Scrappy and Boo and tell of everything from their wacky Aunt's dating trials (and alligator shoes) to first jobs selling size 6 shoes to a woman who clearly wears a 10!
It does touch on the racial issues of that time, but that's just telling a story as it was.
As always, Cappy specializes in bringing out the heart in her real life tales - others can easily relate to these stories as they recognize bits of their own lives in hers.
As each chapter is it's own story, it's great for quick reads at lunch and bedtime.
