Hi Celeste! You've said The Secret to Hummingbird Cake is based on a true story. Are all the characters in the book real? Like Otis? Haha.

Hi Molly....yep...based on a true story. Most of the characters are real, and some characters are a few people I know all rolled into one. ;) But I'll never tell!

No question but just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your book. Being a "Girl Raised in the South", I easily identified with the small town environment and the hospitality and friendship. I, too, lost a dear friend to cancer and your book brought back the bittersweet memories in a positive way. I so hope there will be more?

No question to ask?....Really enjoyed listening to this audio book. I am a 2 year breast cancer survivor and its still hard to swallow anything that is cancer related but I'm so thankful that I was given the opportunity to share my experience with others that are affected by any type of cancer. I actually was balling on my way to work as I listened to that tragic moment. I am recommending to all my reading friends.

I wasn't aware that you had lost a friend to cancer, that explains the very human feelings that I receive from Hummingbird Cake,,I had two very close friends die May 21 , 2016 from cancer and reading this book helped release some of the feelings I had been holding inside, plus a lot of tears. This was such a blessing,,,Thank You,,,,I'll look for future books from you ?. Gardening Lady
