Synopsis
Welcome to the unique world of Bailey White. Her aunt Belle may take you to see her bellowing pet alligator. Her uncle Jimbuddy may appall you with his knack for losing pieces of himself. Most of all, you may succumb utterly to the charms of Baileys mama, who will take you to a juke joint so raunchy it scared Ernest Hemingway or tuck you into her antique guest bed that has the disconcerting habit of folding up on people while they sleep. Whites indelible vignettes of Southern eccentricity have entranced millions who have heard her read them on NPR. Mama Makes Up Her Mind is as sweetly intoxicating as a mint julep and as invigorating as a walk in Whites own overgrown garden.

"Pass the corn pone and enjoy."
Columbia State, 4/19/09
"Funny essays...and White's mama...is amusing enough all on her own."
Augusta Metro Spirit, 5/20/09
"A stunning display of Southern hilarity...Those in search of heart, humor, and intriguing characters could do a lot worse than the life of White."
Bookviews.com, July 2009
"A celebration of the South...For fellow Southerners it will resonate with many memories of this unique region."
Option, 8/15/11 "A trip back to Flannery O'Connor territory, with perhaps a side route to Capote-land."
