"""A great collection of stories! Entertaining and nostalgic. Illustrates the realities of small town youth . . . in many ways Americana! I saw myself in some of these recollections!"" --Dwain Walden, author of From My Back Porch ""Growing Up South of the Mason-Dixon Line takes me right back to my childhood. . . . The stories give insight into boys growing up during the 1950s and 1960s . . . a must read for anyone who grew up during that era."" --Jeffery Walker, University of Alabama at Birmingham ""Writing with an economy of words that weave together memories of a southern upbringing, the authors . . . take us on a journey from the halls of grammar school through a summer adventure, later cruising the streets of Nashville, and finally to an early teaching stint influenced by a love that only a grandmother can reflect. These life-affirming stories are as honest as they are heartwarming."" --Mark Rutledge, columnist, Close to Home"
