If the preacher's wife's petticoat showed, the ladies would make the talk last a week. But on July 5, 1906, things took a scandalous turn. That was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the general store and barely three weeks a widower, cloped with Miss Love Simpson - a woman half his age and worse yet, a Yankee! On that day, fourteen year old Will Tweedy's adventures began and an unimpeachably pious deliciously irreverent town came to life.
Not since To Kill a Mockingbird has a novel so deftly captured the subtle crosscurrents of small-town southern life. Olive Ann Burns's classic best seller brings to vivid life an era that will never exist again, exploring timeless issues of love, death, coming of age, and the ties that bind families and generations. Stunning, often funny, always deeply moving. Cold Sassy Tree reverberates in the mind long after the last page is turned.

Work Description
Had difficulty with the unfamiliar language spoken by the characters, but once I was able to figure it out I enjoyed the family dynamics. Upon finishing this book, I immediately borrowed "Leaving Cold Sassy".
