"Inside a barn is a whole universe, with its own time zone and climate and ecosystem, a shadowy world of swirling dust illuminated in tiger stripes by light shining through the cracks between the boards. Old leather tack, lengths of chain, rope, and baling twine dangled from nails and rafters and draped over stall railings. Generations of pocketknives lay lost in the layers of detritus on the floor."

Dolly is a really nice person and very smart! She is a huge supporter of literacy in Tennessee and a kind person to all the people who live near her childhood home.
You crack me up! You were (and are) a delight, and I forgot to tell you that if you ever get to meet Tim McGraw I wanna ride shotgun.
Thanks for becoming my friend, Carolyn. I'd love for my mystery books to get the kind of reviews your memoir has!
Hi Carolyn and thanks so much for the add. I'm also a member of the Pulpwood Queens Book Club!
I keep my tiara close by. LOL.
Blessings,
Jeannie
Thanks for being my goodreads buddy, Carolyn!
