This is a great reminiscence of the 50's and 60's in the Rural South as told by two fictional children, Scrappy and Boo.

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.

Welcome to the Dew Book Review Section!

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
