Here Comes Minerva!!

Years ago I lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina, across the street from a family with two daughters. The older one, even then, possessed strong and unique opinions. We moved away. After I retired, I wrote two books, one set on Topsail Island, and the other set in Jacksonville. In 2004 I had a book booth at Topsail Island SunFest, and lo and behold, the oldest daughter introduced herself. She, too, was retired she had written a book. Thus began a collaboration that has endured until this day. When I started Righter Monthly Review in 2008, I asked her to write an advice column. She wrote enough ribald columns to fill a book, and here they are. Please meet Miss. Minerva P. Shaw!!! E. B. Alston August 23, 2013
