This delightful collection of short testimonies from acclaimed copy writer Susan Gabriel (The Top secret Sense of Wildflower, a Best Booklet of 2012 by Kirkus Reviews), is rich in humor, as well as puzzle and meaning. Whether white or black, living or lifeless, down home country or upscale urban, Gabriel's individuals are quirky, poignant, and deep. They include: A Gullah girl using folk magic to cast her latest spell. A woman coming-of-age dealing with death in 1940s Tennessee. A rich Savannah matriarch with gastrointestinal issues guarding family secrets. A good ol' boy watching himself soon after his death. An agoraphobic girl striking up a unique friendship with the girl across the street. And a band of 70-year-olds finding recovery in a hill stream. Written in the traditions of Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, the eight brief testimonies in Grace, Grits and Ghosts: Southern Brief Stories are all rooted in the southern landscaping - from the steamy seacoast of Georgia, to the current day Atlanta suburbs, to the historical Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Pull up a rocker on the front porch, take a sip of your special iced tea, and lose yourself in these original testimonies of soulful southerners and their sultry landscaping.
