Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-02 00:00:00 Michael Reardon I really enjoyed this book; Bailey White often has me in tears because she has such a natural ear that she is able to carry over into her writing. A brilliant book? No. Outstanding theme and/or plot? No. Quirky characters? YES!! Exceptionally well drawn snipets of southern life among slightly off-center, good-hearted people? YES!! Bailey White writes exceptional characters that are not stereotypical and yet . . . we [who have lived in small, rural towns] KNOW these folks. It's a great, short summer read.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-11-02 00:00:00 Sharyl Targgart I enjoyed reading Mama Makes Up Her Mind so much I was eager to read another Bailey White book. I was disappointed with Quite a Year for Plums . The characters just didn't "stick" with me. Their personalities were not distinct and no matter how many times I referred to the list of characters in the front of the book, the names meant very little. I gave up about three quarters through the book.
