She had as much business keeping a stray dog as she had walking across Egypt--which not so incidentally is the title of her favorite hymn.

Best-selling author Clyde Edgerton blends a comfy Southern setting and quirky characters into an unforgettable journey through a spirited senior citizen's world....

Mattie Rigsbee is seventy-eight. She lives by herself in Listre, North Carolina (near Bethel).

This is the scene into which Edgerton drops Wesley Benfield -- adolescent, illegitimate, and delinquent, with a mouth full of foul language and bad teeth and a craving for good food.
