"Perhaps I'm proof that regardless of the hand you're dealt, great love can trump just about anything- even bad blood."
-pg. 19, The Cracker Queen


Very entertaining. I don't agree with everything she says (such as intentionally breaking the law because you can), but it has a good message overall. I enjoyed the format: each chapter focuses on one story in the author's life or on a particular "cracker queen" she knew.

RUN to get this book! I loved it. The author gives a humorous tale of life, lessons and having had real problems and trials in her life, came out with a sense of humor. I laughed out loud several times and turned down more pages than I can tell you
