WOW, what voice Lee Smith has!! She totally caught me in the first paragraph...'My name is Florida Grace Shepherd, Florida for the state I was born in, Grace for the grace of God. I am the eleventh child of Reverend Virgil Shepherd........I am and always have been contentious and ornery, full of fear and doubt in a family of believers." THis book contains some insight into the famous "snake handler" group found in the deep Appalachian Mountains. If this topic interests you and you love a Southern "voice".....read it!!
