Synopsis
Joyce Gibson Roach has collected "snippets" of stories, recipes, and traditions of life in Turtle, Texas, which represents many small towns--and the people who inhabit them. Many of the younger generations leave such towns, finding both place and society crumbling. Those who've stayed are finding new and interesting ways to put themselves and their places back together. Both the short and long pieces herein are about the folks who've elected to stay generation after generation, knowing that for them wherever they've stayed is still the Home Place. The characters' viewpoints are personal, sometimes agreeing with facts found in history books and sometimes not., Joyce Gibson Roach has collected "snippets" of stories, recipes, and traditions of life in Turtle, Texas, which represents many small towns-and the people who inhabit them.

    Above expectations on packaging and condition (description) of magazines. Above described . Value for items above what i paid. Shipping can’t be otherwise when using usps. NOT the sellers fault. Cost of shipping was fine. I owe the seller a supply of cardboard and packing tape.

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The shipping was lightning, fast, and the item was thoughtfully packaged to ensure it arrived in perfect condition. It was exactly as described with no surprises, just as promised. The value for the price is outstanding and it’s clear that great care goes into every aspect of the shop. I highly recommend the seller and will definitely be returning for more.
