From AudioFile

Volume 5 in the series What Makes Us Southerners contains thekind of homespun stories you'd expect to hear sitting on the frontporch sipping lemonade. The quietly amusing pieces are filled withdetails of a unique time and place: homemade peppermint ice cream, atelephone operator who knows the numbers of everyone in town, thestory of how an upset stomach came to be called the "BDT's," a girlwho tries to kiss her own elbow in order to become a boy. KathrynTucker Windham is a natural storyteller with a twinkle in herwell-modulated voice. Friendly and inviting, this tape is likely torouse the curiosity of listeners of all ages about their own familytales.

This review is from: God Was Just Practicing When He Made Men (What Makes Us Southerners) (Audio CD)

I have bought, I think, 4 books, many CD's, and ALL of them were hilarious. We love listening to her on long rides or just going around the corner. Turn it up! Excellent read. Anyone, north, south, east, or west, will love these books and CD's. She tells funny stories of critters, her neighbors, childhood friends, and heart warming stories of her family. She loved her daddy so much and they had such good times together. When you listen or read, it's like she is talking directly to you! Buy 1 CD and you'll understand and you will NOT be disapointed!
