*****2017 New York Book Festival Finalist**********Five Star Readers' Favorite***** ..."There is no surer way to feel blessed in this life than to delve into a story with complicated, flawed, flailing characters. Aunt Sookie & Me by Michael Scott Garvin is just such a tale...Drawn so well, the characters...did not evoke singular reactions from me. Rather each made me feel a complicated array of emotions...From time to time I pickup a work that keeps me turning pages...This is such a great read!" - 5 Star! - Patricia Reding -Readers' Favorite Young Poppy Wainwright feels much like a deck of cards, shuffled around from a boozing mother to a beloved grandmother. Finally bused to Savannah, Georgia, to live with her grandmother's cantankerous sister, Sookie. Through the enlightened eyes of a thirteen-year-old girl, the hilarity and insanity ensues.From the best-selling author of A Faithful Son, this rollicking romp of a ride does not disappoint.Aunt Sookie & Me: The Sordid Tale of a Scandalous Southern Belle is irreverent, hilarious, and heartbreaking. All political correctness is buried alongside the dead corpse in the family vegetable garden in this riotous book. But don't let the folksy and fresh recipe fool you, Garvin serves up a big helping of reality, cutting through small-town bigotry and bias.
