Sweet Tea and Jesus Shoes

Sweet Tea & Jesus Shoes By Sandra Chastain, Deborah Smith, Donna Ball, Virginia Ellis, Debra Dixon, Nancy Knight Narrated By Lee Ann Howlett
Length: 4 hrs and 27 mins
This was a cute collection of southern short stories; is it odd that my favorites are the ones about funerals and death. Each story is a unique look at a day in the life of a southern family.

I’m sorry, if I had read this in paper I would have had the name of each story and a little something about each one but since I listened on audio I’ll just have to wing it. My favorites were Nola’s Ashes and the Aunt Betsey’s funeral story, also the one about Grandma telling a story made me giggle hard! Also the Outhouse story had some funny moments too.

Lee Ann’s narration show more took a little bit to get used to but I ended up enjoying it very much, I felt at times she was channeling Lorna Raver, she has a similar husky note to her voice that serves Lorna so well. Although some characters may have sounded older than they were written, I was still very happy with the narration. This was my first book narrated by Lee Ann but I would listen to her again.

If you are a southern fiction fan I would recommend these short stories.

Sweet Tea and Jesus Shoes" is a book of short stories, featuring tales of a past time. Tales to be remembered and to chuckle over as a lot of them I did myself as a youngster. All these authors are great at writting stories and they really outdid themselves on this one. It will be on one my favorites for a long time . In this terrible time in the US, with so much going on we all need a chuckle now and again.

Thank you ladies In this terrible time in the US, with so much going on we all need a chuckle now and again.

This book was supplied by BelleBooks with no requirements from me to do a review.

Free on Kindle. There might be spoilers, but I don't think I remember enough. This is a collection of stories by different authors, about the South & about growing up, and older relatives. Grandmothers are important I think. Some were well written.

The South in all it's splendor.
"Jesus Shoes" is one of my all time favorites - especially for VBS season.
