    <![CDATA[She has as much business keeping a stray dog as she would walking across Egypt–which not so incidentally is the title of her favorite hymn. She’s Mattie Rigsbee, an independent, strong-minded senior citizen who, at seventy-eight, might be slowing down just a bit. When teenage delinquent Wesley Benfield drops in on her life, he is even less likely a companion than the stray dog. But, of course, the dog never tasted her mouth-watering pound cake. Wise and witty, down-home and real, <em>Walking Across Egypt</em> is a book for everyone.]]>

The main character is Mattie, a woman who thinks she's &quot;slowing down&quot;, and despite her prejudices and some totally irrational habits, she sincerely believes that she can affect her community for the better, one meal at a time.
