A Celebration of Sassy Southern Friendships

HOUSTON, TEXAS, September 5, 2007: What do you get when you mix two sassy southern women with two as sweet as sugar? A tasty new book from Barbour Publishing titled SUGAR AND GRITS. In this delightful novella collection by Gulf Coast authors DiAnn Mills, Martha Rogers, Janice Thompson and Kathleen Y'Barbo, four southern women embrace life, love, and even a few storms along the Mississippi Gulf coast.

Get those taste buds ready, readers! In this humorous collection, you'll be tempted by Dottie Jean's pecan pie and Sassy Hatchett's fresh catch of catfish. You'll laugh along with Berta, a dirt mover who wants to be an opera singer. And you'll be tickled by the antics of Sue Ellen, an audacious beautician with a sweet tooth and a secret crush on the local "health-nut" sheriff. Best of all, you will participate in their individual stories of love and unexpected romance.

Settle back with a glass of sweet tea and a slice of pie, and prepare to be swept away to the quaint southern town of Calista, Mississippi, where life-like the morning tide-moves along at a deliciously cozy pace. According to reviewer Kim Sawyer, "What a fun set of stories! While interwoven, each story stands out well on its own. All four heroines are unique and likable in their own ways. I enjoyed the opportunity to become a temporary member of Calista while getting to know Berta, Dottie, Sassy, and Sue Ellen. SUGAR AND GRITS is a wonderful weekend read!"

Barbara Warren, a reviewer from Blue Mountain Editorial Services writes: "SUGAR AND GRITS: Four entertaining romances by four of the best writers in the business. These ladies dish up a hearty helping of fun, faith, and love. This one is a winner."
