Watermelon Days and Firefly Nights: Heartwarming Scenes from Small Town Life Book

"Mayberry meets Mitford in Annette Smith's latest wonderful book. I LOVED Watermelon Days and Firefly Nights! Alternately hilarious and heartwarming-with ample doses of poignancy-I laughed and cried at the antics of the delightful and eccentric characters in the small town of Ella Louise, Texas. Smith is a masterful storyteller. You won't want to leave Ella Louise."
Laura Jensen Walker, author, Mentalpause and Other Midlife Laughs
