Guess what - Another Book - but not a review yet

I haven't read this book yet - but I will. It's titled Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford (his debut novel)...

Here's an author audio interview on NPR. Sounds fascinating really.

Debbie in CA : ) said...: Hello Shelby,

I'm thrilled you came to visit me and enjoyed my music selections so much. It's so exciting for me to find so many of my favorites and plunk them onto my blog for all to sample. I fill my home and gardens with music -- sometimes with the music my children make (they play piano and harp). My life must have music!

I love your header photo. Clover is an underappreciated beauty in the gardens. Bees know a good thing when they see it!

This book title is so intriguing. Lately I think I checked into that very hotel! Today I awoke to a rainy Friday (some snow a bit higher up). A great day to bake some bread, sip tea, and enjoy the beauty all around. I guess you could say I have turned my cahir to face "Sweet" Street.

Thanks again for stopping by. A dear friend of mine lives in Miss. Your references made me homesick for a hug and some of her yummy-sticky-gooey desserts she calls "coffee cake." MMMmmmmm.

Hope I see you back at Wisteria and Roses. (I've added some new music -- fun child-like tunes of simple beauty). For now I'm off to check out this book -- so intriguing. : D; April 24, 2009 10:23 AM

May it please the Court.

My name is Shelby Dupree and I am counsel for the . . .

This is a case about a girl who tried to beat the odds (and still will).

She went to law school last year at age forty (ok, now it's been a couple years and now I'm early mid-forties), with a husband and two teenagers in tow. She worked her @#$ off, and is now working full time as a para "worker" - a job she would almost do for free because she enjoys it so (I just got a very small raise, so I actually do the job for almost free).

She loves the law. Pure and simple, and she'll never do anything else.

The law is an addiction - Shelby's all consuming passion.

"The issue here is the rule of law." - spoken by Judge Michael P. Mills, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Mississippi, in a recent sentencing hearing in a tragic case of corruption too close to home for comfort.

I'm a southerner, in the true-ist sense of the word. I'm an old soul, my accent is sweet and I simply adore the story telling of my people - and Pat Conroy is one of the best storyists evuh.
