Bobby Winters (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 13, 2003

Does your Grandmother dip snuff in secret? Has the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan ever run your long johns up the flagpole? Has your mother ever starved the family to death while waiting for moochy relatives to leave at suppertime? Have you suspected that your family cat had a desire to eat you? Has a high school custodian ever held a 12-gage shotgun on you? Does your Grampa have a secret cache of whisky in the barn?If you can answer "Yes" to any of these questions, and maybe even if you can't, Grandma Dipped Snuff is a must-read book for you. Taken from a weekly column in a small-town newspaper, these essays are as current as today, but reflect the sense of a time gone by.

The author has left his Camelot (Oklahoma) behind but not his memories. He remembers and will make you smile and laugh aloud. I look forward to his next book.

This review is from: Grandma Dipped Snuff: Ruminations from an Okie in Exile (Paperback)

This book contains a myriad of short stories revolving around growing up in Anytown, Any Country. Anyone who's had the distinct privilege of being raised in a small town will definitely appreciate the images/memories evoked by this book! I can guarantee several good laughs, food for thought, and many, many smiles with each story you read! Give yourself (or someone you love) a gift and buy this book!
