Listen to a sample Listen to a sample

Kathryn Tucker Windham begins this montage of stories with the sounds of summer and ends with a joyful Christmas memory. The mixture of tales from the mouth-watering description of good Southern food to the story of a governor more familiar with Tom Sawyer than Tom Jefferson comes together to evoke the image of a happy childhood. The title selection shows us how saying things just a little differently can make life more interesting, even when what's different is a little behind the times. Ms. Windham's rich voice spreads over the listener like butter over Southern cornbread, and these multilayered memories create something larger—a community sustained by tradition, values, family, and, above all, humor.
