“Savannah Rose” is delicious in every sense of the word. The book has a dash of honor, laughter, fibs, and unforgettable feisty Southern Belles. There is a thin line between truth and fibs. Every short story will challenge your ability to discern the difference between the two. The history is around the time of the Civil War. Even Stonewall Jackson himself comes up from the grave with a few words of wisdom. You will be entertained by pirates, midwife’s, soldiers, and you may be frightened by a Louisiana voodoo woman. Don’t fret it’s just a fib, or is it? I’ll let y’all figure that one out. Let your lips taste the sea salt and don’t forget to smell the sweetest rose ever, Savannah, my adopted home. Sherri Lewis the author of two books “Wash My Soul” and “Hear My Voice.” She likes to refer to herself as a storyteller as she travels back to her roots in Savannah Georgia.
This is a delightful 104 page novella collection of short stories with a Civil War theme. As suggested in the title, all the stories revolve around Savannah, Georgia.
The variety in the book is wonderful. From stories relating to Southern Belles, soldiers, midwives and historical figures, this collection will find you in a wide range of emotion.
You will find yourself wanting to read the stories over and over as they just make you wish the story continued.
Ms. Lewis is also the author of “Wash My Soul” and “Hear My Voice”.
