Linda Dickson
Author
Spit of a Minute
“A relentless Southern classic In the tradition of John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath, Linda Dickson has written a sweeping epic about the hopelessness of the Southern poor. Starting in 1928, Spit of a Minute follows Queenie and her family from the barnyard floor of a dirt farm in Tennessee to Hell’s Kitchen in New York City. From gypsies to jezebels, mules to monkeys, and everything in between, Ms. Dickson crafts a rich slate of Flannery O’Connor-esque characters. You cannot help but find yourself pulling for them all, even the mean, low-down drunks and the whores. Make no mistake, however, Queenie’s is not a sappy coming of age story.

This review is from: Spit of a Minute: An irreconcilable life. (Kindle Edition)

Our choices in life make or break us. This book reveals the heartache of poor choices and how casually people choose. Innocence is part of the equation, but children of the '30's and 40's did not have much luxury of innocence.
Spit of a Minute is about the results of life without guidance and care. It is about how life chews you up and spits you out when you aren't careful. It as about a family struggling to live poor during the Depression and in the following years.
Characters were well developed and the story line never gets dull. Linda Dickson is a skillful writer telling a compelling story.
