review 1: A celebration of faith, family, and sharing stories, Sophie Hudson brings her southern humor and soft heart to the table bringing you the hilarious struggle that is life. Each page was filled with wit and laugh out loud stories, accompanied with deeper spiritual meaning. I flew through the pages and felt so acquainted with Sophie's entire family - from Mama to Martha (yes I did! yes I did!), Brother, Sister, Mamaw, Choxie, Daddy, and more. Within her words and narrative, you might be able to glimpse a bit of your own family. The call to value what matters most and treasure your family rings through the work. I adored the style and the content of this book, from start to finish, making it an incredibly quick read! Thank you Sophie for sharing your story and your people with... more me and the rest of the world.
review 2: LOVED everything about this book, but particularly the last chapter. Love the home-spun feeling and the light-hearted look at family. LOL funny, sentimental and sometimes a little sad, and a whole lot of grateful.I marked several quotes that I really liked, but here's my favorite:...That's family. They're the people who make you willing--eager, even to drive four and a half hours so you can spend three days in the kitchen and fry eight pounds of bacon...for one night of celebration that's followed by a morning mired in the depths. And you do it so that someday, maybe fifteen or twenty years down the road, you can think back on an anniversary party, tell your children or grandchildren about it, and say, with all sincerity, "My word. That was a gift. That whole thing was a gift." Because that's family. That's what you do. That's how you love. And you know what? It it is a gift. Every single bit of it.pg. 157 less
