Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns

5.0

I grabbed this book at a second-hand shop, knowing nothing about it. I had lukewarm feelings about it at first- the Southernness (is that a real word? Don't use it in Scrabble) seemed too molasses-thick. Since I am from Alabama, I am sensitive to portrayals of the South. But somewhere in the middle of this fantastic story, that all changed. I ended up really loving this book. It started to ring true, and the characters started to be important to me.
