Poor Man's Provence: Finding Myself in Cajun Louisiana by Rheta Grimsley Johnson

4.0

I enjoy her story telling and of course much of it is relatable from growing up fairly close to where this takes place. Lots of references and anecdotes made me smile. I enjoyed reading about the people the author befriended in Henderson. Her writing made the place come to life. I made a list of some of the lesser known local musicians and restaurants mentioned so that I could look them up. A couple of specific parts of the book were strangely written (roosters-natural death in the part about cock fighting, ex- another reviewer pointed out a few things), but overall I enjoyed it.
