Memories of a Former Sweet Southern Woman: A Collection of Works by J.B. Palmer

Let yourself be swept away into this bucolic narrative, with stories woven by life, tempered by family, and proofed by hindsight. This is a collection of articles, written by columnist J.B. Palmer, carefully selected and placed to tell the story of her life. Hers was not a life of glamour, not a life of serendipity, but one most of us would identify with. Through the stories she tells us, we come to understand her modest upbringings in the 1950's, the sins of southern repression, the sadness of innocence lost, the defeat of a mid-life divorce, the glory of rebirth, and how family, and a sense of humor, binds us to happiness throughout.
