When one’s heart is attuned to God’s leading, the greatest of sins can be forgiven and a new life begun.
A CELEBRATION OF SASSY SOUTHERN FRIENDSHIPS Gulf Coast Authors Prove There's Nothing Sweeter or Stronger than Southern Women What do you get when you mix two sassy southern women with two as sweet as sugar? A tasty new book from Barbour Publishing titled SUGAR AND GRITS. In this delightful novella collection by Gulf Coast authors DiAnn Mills, Martha Rogers, Janice Thompson and Kathleen Y'Barbo, four southern women embrace life, love, and even a few storms along the Mississippi Gulf coast. Get those taste buds ready, readers! In this humorous collection, you'll be tempted by Dottie Jean's pecan pie and Sassy Hatchett's fresh catch of catfish. You'll laugh along with Berta, a dirt mover who wants to be an opera singer. And you'll be tickled by the antics of Sue Ellen, an audacious beautician with a sweet tooth and a secret crush on the local "health-nut" sheriff. Best of all, you will participate in their individual stories of love and unexpected romance. Settle back with a glass of sweet tea and a slice of pie, and prepare to be swept away to the quaint southern town of Calista, Mississippi, where life--like the morning tide--moves along at a deliciously cozy pace. According to reviewer Kim Sawyer, "What a fun set of stories! While interwoven, each story stands out well on its own. All four heroines are unique and likable in their own ways. I enjoyed the opportunity to become a temporary member of Calista while getting to know Berta, Dottie, Sassy, and Sue Ellen. SUGAR AND GRITS is a wonderful weekend read!" Barbara Warren, a reviewer from Blue Mountain Editorial Services writes: "SUGAR AND GRITS: Four entertaining romances by four of the best writers in the business. These ladies dish up a hearty helping of fun, faith, and love. This one is a winner. DIANN MILLS writes the kind of fiction readers love, and she's got the awards to prove it. With more than one million books in print, she has more than fulfilled her dreams - just like Berta Lou. MARTHA ROGERS puts all her Texas charm into every book she writes. A former teacher and accomplished author, she is well on her way to being a Southern favorite - just like Dottie Jean's catfish. JANICE A. THOMPSON is the award-winning author over over 20 books. She has a passion for pecan pie, sweet tea, and solving mysteries, and unlike Sassy, she's quite even tempered. KATHLEEN Y'BARBO is the best-selling author of 30 novels and novellas. Currently she has over 500,000 books in print - and she loves nothing better than a good pedicure and a zebra skin accessory - just like Sue Ellen. Oh, and don't bother to ask which ones are sweet and which are sassy. It depends on the day! |
