Ava's Man
Author: Rick Bragg
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Hardcover

I love Rick Bragg's articles in Southern Living magazine. His humor and wit are also evident in the telling of this story about his maternal grandfather. I did feel, though, some gaps in the storytelling and wanted to know more about the man. This may have been due to the fact that he never knew the man personally.
What he did include in the story was a window into the life of his relatives living a difficult life in the south during the depression. And through all of these difficulties there was still a strong since of family and taking care of each other.
