Heartwarming and engaging.

This is a great story from start to finish. It is set in the American South in the 1930’s, so is reflective of those in some ways regrettable times, but no good ever came of denying reality, so don’t let that put you off. Picking your team is easy. The bad guys are bad and get what’s coming to them which is satisfying, and the good people are loving and respectful of each other regardless of race or class differences. Overall it’s a great story, laugh out loud funny in places, and touching and sad in others. It’s very heartwarming. Enjoy!
