New Southern Writer

I found a new southern writer whose work I really love. Her name is Pamela Duncan and to date she's written 3 novels. Moon Women, Plant Life, and the most recent title that came out this month is The Big Beautiful. She writes real, stories about real southern people and southern life. Right now I'm reading Plant Life. I love her way with words and dialogue. Most are expressions and language that I've heard all my life. I'm amazed that anyone else knew these expressions and used them in conversations. I can't wait to read the other 2 books.
