Yesterday was a red-letter day--a big box bearing my copies of
Bottle Tree arrived at the door. I was tempted to hug the UPS guy but restrained myself. (Is this common among authors receiving their books?) By the way, here's where the phrase "red-letter," meaning "memorably happy," comes from: "the practice of marking in red the holy days in church calendars" (
American Heritage Dictionary). Well, here's to a memorably happy day!
Great review by Kathleen Thompson in Alabama Writers Forum. Congratulations Jennifer!

I just finished the thirteenth "bottle," and what an experience! You found words that express all of my mixed and chaotic thoughts/feelings about being Southern. A truly cathartic experience to travel that maze with you.
