""Life is long. It's harder and sweeter than you could ever imagine. It's full up with people and completely devoid of coincidences. Every encounter includes an opportunity to give, to receive, to teach, to learn - so pay attention. It's all worth it. It's the Whole Point actually. You will honestly be glad you took the time to read this book. Congratulations on at least one good choice!"" Jill Conner Browne, multiple #1 NYTimes Bestselling author of the SWEET POTATO QUEENS series ""Emily Carter's A Spork in the Road will warm your heart, feed your soul and flat-out make you a better person. It just will. A funny, wise, loving joyride through Carter's life in the rural South, this remarkable memoir benefits from the author's fearless ability to steer the conversation to deeper waters just when you least expect it. Think Anne Lamott with less Bay Area and more livermush. In other words: perfection."" Celia Rivenbark, NYTimes Bestselling author of We're Just Like You, Only Prettier ""Reading Emily's work is like spending time with a lifelong friend who shows you life through fresh eyes on a warm summer day. Her stories are clever, moving, often laugh-out-loud funny, and always filled with love. She's a butterfly that lands on the back of your hand - beautiful, graceful, and filled with wonder."" Thomas Kies, Edgar Award nominated author of the Geneva Chase Mystery Series
