Gritty Greens: Diary Of A Southern Housewife

Gritty Greens is a humorous and poignant year-in-the-life memoir of Everywoman, with essays illuminating significant events and holidays, providing those head-slapping "I've been there, too!" moments for women who struggle to keep their families intact without losing themselves. Job layoffs, relocations, the birds and the bees talk, and the mysteries of marriage are all examined in this heartfelt journal. Gritty Greens explores the irony of the grit on the greens, which cooks struggle to remove, but which in fact springs from the soil that imparts such rich flavor to the resulting vegetation. Likewise, challenges that we constantly seek to avoid are ultimately what gives life meaning in this eye-opening glimpse into an ordinary life. Great Mother's Day gift or birthday gift for the mother figure in your life!
