But for author Tina Rye Sloan, growing up in tiny Detroit, Alabama, was anything but boring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn her delightful memoir \u003ci\u003eSouthern Serendipity\u003c\/i\u003e, Sloan shares some rather entertaining and almost unbelievable accounts of life in the Deep South. From discovering numerous mischievous uses for dish soap to miraculously surviving a slide off the tin roof of a barn-propelled by a slick coating of baby oil-Sloan provides a look at the rich upbringing she was fortunate to have, despite her family's poverty. \u003ci\u003eSouthern Serendipity\u003c\/i\u003e also offers a glimpse into Southern small-town life during the late 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. Sloan inadvertently yet artfully describes many facets of Southern culture, from colloquialisms to gardening to education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe collection of heartwarming stories in \u003ci\u003eSouthern Serendipity\u003c\/i\u003e is based around several families whose lives in this small Southern town were woven together like strong, colorful threads in a tapestry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 23, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468111036669,"sku":"9780595410804","price":24.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/T21nRWJmUnhIMVI3ODVLL2FMdGE0dz09.webp?v=1777285414","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/southern-serendipity-a-memoir-of-growing-up-in-the-rural-south-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
