Beautifully written true story about Rick Bragg's grandfather. You feel as if you are right there. You can smell it, you can taste it and you can hear the voices so well, you could actually imitate them yourself. Bragg writes that way.

I loved this book, but possibly just a tad less than I enjoyed "It's All Over But The Shoutin'". I understand why Bragg won the Pulitzer Prize. Do yourself a favor; read them both.
