Full of humor and pathos, as southern stories ought to be, the fifteen short-shorts in this debut collection will haunt you. From simple family dysfunction to tragic twists of fate, the characters in Surviving Nashville suffer their losses with surprising grace. Stacy Barton is a storyteller with an ear for dialect, an eye for detail and a heart for her character—even the mean ones.
