Home Is Where The Heart Is, a compilation of memories about growing-up in the rural South, tells an interesting and humorous story of a youth well-spent and will spark the reader's own nostalgic recollections of times gone by when life was defined in simpler terms. The initial chapters provide an intimate glimpse of the author's family history along a path that goes from pre-Civil War Mississippi to New Mexico and Arizona before they were states, to Brazil, South America, back to Arizona, and finally home again to Mississippi. Then, through one heart-warming story after another, the reader is given the opportunity to share the author's pure pleasure of growing-up in Gore Springs, Mississippi.
