[Kristen Chandler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great collection of short stories from Alabama authors (or authors with ties to Alabama). I can't really say I had a favorite story out of here, as I enjoyed most all of them. However, the short story by Truman Capote that's featured is one of my favorite stories of his. This is a good read, if you're looking for something light and funny!
