OVERVIEW

A compilation of her most popular columns from newspapers in Mobile, Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama as well as Mississippi, Leslie Anne Tarabella focuses on quirky and warm Southern values. Finding joy in any occasion and turning it into a reason to celebrate, these short stories will make you laugh and bring you to happy tears. With a loyal following of not only Southerners, but those who are Southern at heart, Leslie Anne knows how to tell an engaging story. Well mannered children, brides who can't keep their strapless dresses pulled up, and the love of family and friends are all topics covered in this entertaining book. If you love dinner on the grounds and a good deviled egg, and if your mama told you to "sparkle and shine,"this is a book you'll love.

And the majorettes on the cover? They are the real-life Majorettes from Decatur High School in Decatur, Alabama back in 1962. One of them surprised the author at a book signing in Birmingham. Leslie Anne recalls, "I recognized her! She's still just as dazzling. Majorettes never lose their sparkle!"

"I started reading your newspaper column years ago and am thrilled to find my favorites in your Majorettes book. I loaned it to my friend and she won't return it. She says she likes to read the stories over and over again. I'll have to get a new copy."
