He knew there was nobody behind him, but suddenly the other buggy barreled past him. He hardly had time to look at the driver before the horse and buggy flew ahead of him and disappeared. He swore till he died that it was a ghost. (less)

Tayari Jones—The Aura of Brilliance

Only rarely do most of us find ourselves in the presence of brilliance. Last Sunday I was fortunate to attend a presentation by the brilliant Tayari Jones, author of four novels, including Silver Sparrow and the recent Oprah’s Book Club selection An American Marriage. Let me assure you she is equally gifted both behind the keyboard and in front of a crowd. She held us all spellbound from the time
