Sweeter Than Tea is a real treat! I love the flavor of good southern stories, and this book has that in droves. The characters are wonderful and the stories - okay I won't use another sweet tea analogy. But you get the idea! Pick up a copy and enjoy it.

This anthology of shorts gives a reader such a wide diversity of Southern flavor. Particularly enjoyed Kimberly Brock and especially Jane Forest. And if you aren't a born and bred Southerner, once you read all of these shorts, you'll have a pretty good idea of how we think and operate by the end. Nice, pleasant, enjoyable reads. Oh, one more thing . . . now I know how to boil my eggs properly.
