At home in the country
Good writing lasts for generations when gathered
from the cobwebbed corners of a writer's mind
--moldy cellars and ghostly attics where most
fear to tread but some go anyway. Storytellers
who survive life’s heartaches and hardships
are left with priceless conflict to write about.
Without life’s overwhelming obstacles, a writer
doesn't always possess understanding and
compassion, the inward resolution
to pursue their dreams. A writer’s life is, however,
always full of hope. Hope that some day
they’ll be blessed with a bit of luck.
- Pamela King Cable
BETH HOFFMAN, New York Times bestselling author of SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT
With a clear Southern voice and a remarkable gift of storytelling, Pamela King Cable has crafted a masterful collection of short stories. In themes ranging from flea markets to coal mine strikes, SOUTHERN FRIED WOMEN speaks of the wounds, joys, and sacrifices experienced by women who held strong in the winds of adversity and emerged bruised but miraculously unbroken. Each story is as thought-provoking as it is beautifully written.
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW – gives SOUTHERN FRIED WOMEN 5 STARS – "Pamela King Cable is one of those infrequent writers who can bring reality to fictional characters so strong that you’d swear you had encountered them in your own life’s history. SOUTHERN FRIED WOMEN will leave the reader looking forward to more from this accomplished, imaginative, skilled, and entertaining author!”
USABOOKNEWS.COM – Pamela King Cable, an Award-Winning Finalist in the Best Books 2006 Book Awards – “A rich collection of stories that explores humanity! Well-written and inspiring!”
Martin Rader ~ Synergy Executive Enhancement Professor of Fine Arts - North Carolina School of the Arts, Penn State University, Antioch College, and Harvard University. – “Pamela King Cable speaks from the soul of a woman who has endured. Emotionally and spiritually bludgeoned by circumstances that promised so much but delivered so little. With unbelievable strength, she picked herself up, packed up her children, her dignity, and with her unswerving faith—she made a life for herself. What a survivor! ... I’m amazed at her natural ability to deliver and share her story and speak from her heart with humor and passion. Hearing Pam speak is an opportunity of a lifetime. There’s none like her.”
