I Read a Great Book — and it felt good to laugh out loud!

I just finished Mama Makes Up Her Mind and other dangers of Southern Living. by Bailey White.
White is a first grade teacher, unmarried, who lives with her determined, aging mother. The chapters are essays, quick to read and ever so enjoyable.
You know, when you are reading a book (silently) it is down-right funny to laugh out loud. This book did it for me.
White writes about her own life, her mother, and other relatives. She talks about challenges she’s undertaken like buying a new car and planting a successful wildflower garden. Her stories are warm and snappy at the same time. They are heartfelt and fun-making — good clean fun.
I recommend this to anyone who needs a good laugh - especially one they can relate to — even if they aren’t sure quite why.
Happy Reading!
