"A classic American memoir...to love as well as to read, a book to pass from hand to hand, generation to generation." --Boston Globe

"Settle has preserved for us a moment in the South's history palpable as the trumpet vines and rocking chairs of a long-departed front-porch afternoon." --New York Times Book Review
