Aunt Jane, a widow with a long memory and a sharp tongue, sits on her porch and talks about the people of her Kentucky neighbourhood. Her stories take in Sally Ann’s rebellion at a church meeting, a quarrel over a new organ, a patchwork album, a boy who rode in a tournament, a baptizing at Kittle Creek and the gardens of memory.

Gentle, wry country storytelling in dialect, with a quiet feminist edge that still lands. Download the free EPUB.
