The Goddess of Fried Okra Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I just downloaded this to my Kindle for free and was surprised how quickly I was into it. Since I live in and love Texas that was a big plus for this book. Then throw in adjectives like eccentric, vulnerable, and heroic well that was enough to get me started. The first 2 chapters enough to keep me going. I let you know what I think when I am finished. "

" Just started this book but I like it so far. It was a freebie on Kindle. "

" I stopped and started this book several times hoping it would get better, but no such luck. The writers pace was a little too slow and I lost interest in the characters. Maybe I will give it another try again. But for now, it goes on the "Gave Up On It" shelf. "
