Sleeping at the Starlite Motel: and Other Adventures on the Way Back Home

I miss hearing Bailey White's distinctively scratchy voice on NPR as she spun these stories from her life. She can take the most mundane experiences and turn them into an interesting adventure. From convincing an elderly aunt that it's time to move from her home, to humanely dealing with a mouse problem, to sneaking out of a computer class to attend the dog track, Miss White knows how to entertain with graceful, self-depracating humor.

An assortment of comical essays from a Southern view. I really like Ms. White's writing and look forward to her other books.

Red the Rat Man is my favorite story.

A quieter book than Mama. But excellent.
