Synopsis

Every once in a while, an author comes along who's non-traditional, unconventional, and doesn't play by all the "rules." She writes Southern fiction - her way. We've got a live one on the Southern literature scene! She can ruffle the feathers of the most stoic, mess with the beliefs of the strictest fundamentalists, and reel you into the story like a mean catfish meant for the fryer. She has woven together the music, the language, the religions, and the traditions of the South. The result is SOUTHERN FRIED WOMEN, a collection of nine short stories of Southern women, and a few men, struggling for answers to unanswered questions, hoping for forgiveness, searching for righteousness, and questioning the existence of God in their lives. No Time For Laura, Vernell Paskins-Mobile Home Queen, Punkin Head, Cry, The Homestead, Old Time Religion, Pigment Of My Imagination, Beach Babies, Coal Dust On My Feet In the spirit of the rural South, Pamela King Cable may well be next on the Southern literature scene of unforgettables. These are the stories in this collection that examine - sometimes seriously and at other times with humor - themes of forgiveness, death, love, discovery, racial conflict, faith, tragedy, innocence, destiny, guilt, and overcoming insurmountable obstacles. Set in various locations and time periods in the South, Southern Fried Women is a compelling collection of stories from Pamela King Cable, a powerful new voice in fiction. Cassandra King, author of Making Waves, The Sunday Wife, The Same Sweet Girls, says . "If you don't find yourself devouring this delicious book of stories, by Pamela King Cable, then you are not a Southern Fried Woman (or Man). After laughing and crying your way through this collection, you will eagerly await new offerings from this talented writer!"

About this title

Review

I don't do book reviews very often but something about this book caught my eye! Southern Fried Women just called to me. It must be all that growing up in Louisiana that I did because I wanted to read it and when I was reading it, I felt like Southern Fried Women wrapped it's arms around me and pulled me in. . . . I really enjoyed reading this book! Filled with poignancy, honesty and bit of mystery each tale is expertly crafted, interesting, and thought-provoking. -Family Focus Blog

I don

Cable will make you remember your past, smile at your future, cry uncontrollably, and laugh hysterically at her stories. One moment I needed a box of tissues and the next I was in stitches. My family thought I had lost it

About the Author

Pamela Cable is an award-winning author and speaker. Raised by a tribe of wild Pentecostals and storytellers she states, I was meant to be a writer. I've been in training all the days of my life. She recently moved to Ohio to be near her children, but she is still a southern woman by birth and at heart.
