Going Nowhere

by Sherri Lewis

I suppose the best way to introduce this spicy southern story is for you to go back into your memory as a child looking into the clouds. You know, when you could use your imagination and dance and look at life with softer eyes. Mary Ruth's voice takes us to her roots in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, just before the Great Depression. Born in a rustic barn house with very little means, three girls in their own way become extraordinarily strong women. Throughout the whole book we understand how Granny planted the seeds of God with every woman she befriended. Every chapter takes twists and turns even beyond Mary Ruth's expectations or imagination. Green moons; hurricanes; delivering babies; a handsome, young lawyer; swamp man; and last, but not least, Grannys' famous way of making chicken that turned out to be the recipe of love. As Ethel would say, "Ordinary? Hell no!"
