Industry Reviews
"Bailey White's real-life fables teeter tragicomically between fierce dignity and affliction....[her] voice is orginal, innocent yet subversive."
New York Times Book Review - Diane McWhorter

"White clearly knows the business of telling a ripping good tale... Like Truman Capote at his finest, she is a writer with a true voice, with a sense of her history, her place, and her people."
Schappell

"She's done it again, [with] a collection of essays that will leave readers laughing musing, and maybe even shedding a tear.... Irresistible...hilarious... Bailey White's infectious appeal rises from her ability to approach both the zany and the mundane with generous humor and tender humanity. For that alone, check-in is worth the price at her Starlite Motel."
Schappell

"White's ability to dramatize seems so natural it's like a sixth sense, and her ear for Southern vernacular and her eye for revealing imagery make her essays the triumph they are... Read silently or aloud, all of them delight."
Schappell

    This book is a little different from Bailey White's other books. It contains short stories that describe her crazy relatives and neighbors, and the adventures of traveling through life and meeting people on the way. Oh, yes....this all takes place in the South, because that is where Ms. White lives and has a radio program. I loved most of the short stories, some more than others but they all had their quirky quality and if they didn't make you laugh they at least made you smile or warmed your heart.
