"A collection of short stories that aims to inject real-world drama into tales of the holiday season."
- Kirkus Review
"'Tis the season to be truthful: the diverse stories collected in Gritty Southern Christmas Anthology are candid about the complications that mark many Southern Christmas celebrations. . . . Tribulations surround the book's cast. They deal with divorces, dead-end jobs, losses, imprisonments, and disappointments. Many struggle to make ends meet, let alone buy the perfect present. . . . While the book's characters are rarely cozy or idealized, they are an identifiable bunch. They slide into the holiday season on their foibles and mistakes, and many are in no mood to apologize for their faults. At the same time: they collectively yearn for the magic that Christmas used to hold for them, and that seemed to fade beneath the realities of adulthood. Their pains are sympathetic, familiar, and humanizing. . . . The short stories collected in Gritty Southern Christmas Anthology would not deign to suggest that the magic of Christmas washes all one's troubles away-but they still manage to wish their audience a merry holiday." - Foreword Review
"..I think I fell in love with every last page. Well written and exactly what I needed to lift my spirits."
- Brianna Minor NetGalley 5 Star Review
