A Southern Season

A Southern Season: Rural Stories is a collection of short narratives that explore the food, traditions, and unique quirks of rural Southern life, highlighting both nostalgic memories and the cultural shifts of one generation. Set in eastern North Carolina during the 1970s and 1980s, these true stories offer an authentic glimpse into a way of life that is gradually changing or fading away. Designed for individual enjoyment yet interconnected in theme, the stories invite both locals and outsiders to experience the essence of being "country" and the transition to the New(er) South.
