I came across this book while browsing through the SIBA Agenda for this September. It immediately grabbed my attention.
This is a lovely slim volume of short anecdotes by well known Mississippians, remembering their youth in the state.
Stories ranging from the heart of Mississippi to the coastline.
The authors of these stories range from Jerry Rice, B.B. King, Jimmy Buffett to Noel Polk. Gerry Riggs and Carolyn Haines.
If you're from Mississippi it will bring back memories of your youth. If you're not, you'll learn a little bit more about why people who were raised there love it still.
