Rural Route 2: a Collection of Stories from the Tobacco Farmer's Daughter Linda Hamlett Childress

Linda Hamlett Childress, author of, A Tobacco Farmer's Daughter, brings us Rural Route 2, More Stories from the Tobacco Farmer's Daughter. This is an engaging book of stories that some say compares to the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Linda believes her stories are more like vegetable soup- with an edge. Many of the events took place on the farm of her childhood, in Charlotte County, Virginia. On this farm her parents, Harry Lee, and Jane Hamlett still reside and farm. This book offers something for everyone, from family tragedy, and lessons learned to hilarious tales of childhood antics gone badly. Everyday dealings turn into entertaining stories for people of all ages. As an added bonus Linda has added an excerpt of her very first novel, The Tobacco Row Girl. This is the story of a young defiant girl who longs to escape the pain of growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and to have a life that is all her own. After her escape she finds you can run, but you can't hide.
