The Wonder Boy Of Whistle Stop

 I have loved Fanny Flagg since she was on television on Candid Camera. I also love the books she writes. Fanny Flagg's real name is Patricia Neal. At the time she was an actress, another Patricia Neal was registered with the Actors Equity so she had to take a stage name. Personally, I would never take the name Fanny. Her latest book, The Wonder Boy Of Whistle Stop, was published in 2020. I enjoyed reading every single sentence. Fanny writes about people in small towns. The people she describes are ordinary people whose lives include extraordinary moments. The wonder boy, in this book, is now in his 80's. He is widowed and depends on his daughter for emotional support. His name is Bud and he longs for the days when Whistle Stop was a busy town. He remembers his Aunt Idgie who was a hell-raiser and a very fun person to be with. If you are in need of some home-spun southern humor, this is the book for you.
