Description for MAMA MAKES UP HER MIND AND OTHER DANGERS OF SOUTHERN LIVING by Bailey White: Bailey White writes about her tiny home town, a Georgia hamlet full of fascinating neig hbors, overstuffed homes, and an unusual number of swans. In the tradition of such authors as Garrison Keillor and Fannie Flagg, she tells warm and funny stories---about what happens when her Mama decides to train a taxidermist to cook, about teaching school with the help of the "Titanic" and a one-eared intellectual, about the challenge of gardening in Georgia, where "vegetation does not know its place." Millions of people have enjoyed Bailey White's tales on the radio and in magazines. MAMA MAKES UP HER MIND is her long-awaited first book, bringing together more than fifty of those stories. A delightful gift and a wonderful read on a warm afternoon, this book will introduce you to Rosey's juke joint, the pride of being a volunteer firefighter the old fold-up bed Mama saves for visitors---and the freshest, most entertaining writing to be found anywhere.
