Reviews for Grass Widow: Making My Way in Depression Alabama (Alabama Fire Ant)
[With] twinkling humor, sharp insight, welcome forthrightness, telling allusiveness... Grass Widow is a well-told, high-spirited, but well-tempered story.... Affectingly personal, [it] is also a valuable document of and for cultural history. - Bert Hitchcock, editor of American Short Stories (7th edition); ""A great read."" - Philip Beidler, editor of Many Voices, Many Rooms: A New Anthology of Alabama Writers
