Book cover for Grace, Grits and Ghosts: Southern Short Stories
But something is coming. The tea leaves show it. The wind whispers it. The voice of my ancestors confirms it, and I will get ready for it the best I can.

Rachel   Harrison
“It occurred to me then, mouth full of chocolate chip banana mush, that our past is not the truth. It’s warped by time and emotion, inevitably muddied by love and resentment, joy and shame, hope and regret. I couldn’t trust my own memories. Good or bad.”
Rachel Harrison, Black Sheep

Kelly Barnhill
“Anger is a funny thing. And it does funny things to us if we keep it inside. I encourage you to consider a question: Who benefits, my dear, when you force yourself to not feel angry?” She tilted her head and looked at me so hard I thought she could see right into my bones. She raised her eyebrows. “Clearly not you.”
Kelly Barnhill, When Women Were Dragons

Janet Fitch
“The rest of us will make compromises, find excuses, someone or something to blame, and hold that over our hearts like a pendant on a chain.”
Janet Fitch, White Oleander

Jessamine Chan
“In this light, no one would be able to tell that they’re losing hope. That they’re dangerous women. Women who can’t control themselves. Who don’t know the right way to love. 13.”
Jessamine Chan, The School for Good Mothers

Taylor  Brown
“Prayed and prayed. Not to the church-god, exactly. To her own. One that lived closer, up on the mountain, perhaps. For here was a place fit for a god to live, not in any building or book. Here she was understood. She was wicked, sure, but no hypocrite. She had fought every day of her life, same as the beasts of the field. The bloody Christ nailed naked and roaring to the cross—his bones iron-split, his body whip-flayed to the meat—he was hard as they come. Surely he prized grit, a game heart. Same as she did.”
Taylor Brown, Gods of Howl Mountain
