Author: Sophie Hudson
There?s nothing quite like family?for good or bad. But in a world where we sometimes know more about the Kardashians than we do the people sleeping right down the hall, it?s easy to forget that walking through life with our family offers all sorts of joy wrapped up in the seemingly mundane.

I enjoyed Sophie's stories. Some were hilarious & some (the one about her Grandma) were very emotional. Well worth reading.

Enjoyable read


I enjoyed the stories Sophie tells. It reminds me a lot of my own Southern family, even though the details are different. And I feel like if I met the folks she write about (particularly Martha! can you imagine? CAN YOU IMAGINE?!) I would know them right off the bat. And that makes me smile. (Though sometimes her use of fragments and parentheticals are a little much, they do serve a purpose.) The book definitely made me smile and laugh, though it has its sad parts too - after all, it's a book about life, and sadness and loss is a part of that journey.

I appreciated how things really did keep tying back to God. It was refreshing. ...though I only remember 8 pounds of bacon from the stories, not 15...but there is an unexpected treat of a chapter of recipes at the end of the book. I can't wait to dig in.
