Bailey White introduces her audiance to the peculiar yet lovable people who inhabit a small town in south Georgia. Meet serious, studious Roger, the peanut pathologist and unlikely love object of half the town's women. Meet Roger's ex-mother-in-law, Louise, who teams up with an ardent typographer in an attempt to attract outer-space invaders with specific combinations of letters and numbers. And meet Della, the bird artist who captivates Roger with the sensible but enigmatic notes she leaves on things she throws away at the Dumpster. This book is not as good as her "Mama Makes Up Her Mind" and "Sleeping at the Starlite Motel." I don't know if it's because these stories weren't as captivating to me as her stories about Mama, but her scratchy voice seemed scratchier and more difficult to listen to than on previous tapes.

Characters don't get any better than this. A driveway down the street from me is flanked on each side by towering, colored "plaster" eagles. After this book, I always smile when I drive by them.

Quirky and amusing set of characters populate this novel. Enjoyable.
