Mama Makes Up Her Mind
, Bailey White's first book of essays about her eccentric family and life on the edge of Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp, is entertaining in some ways and disappointing in others. Some of the anecdotes are belly-laugh-inducingly hilarious; others meander to weak endings or vaguely Aesop-like morals. It's a fast read and entertaining, and enough of the essays were quirky, funny, or insightful enough that I'll keep it on my shelf, although I don't plan to read the sequel.
