Mussleman interjects a down-home wholesomeness when tying personal stories to time-honored Southern recipes. In the process, she preserves stories of her growing-up years in the 1930s to present times. She writes stories behind many near-forgotten customs that older generations witnessed as children, such as watching their mothers cut up raw chicken, throwing barn parties for neighbors, listening to elderly relatives, honoring their ancestral homes, and celebrating all holidays with food and family...The cookbook could stand on its own with only the recipes, but the stories, songs, letters, and sepia-colored photographs add richness to the reading of the book that even non-cooks will enjoy."

“All six stories of this volume are centered in the small rural community of Tucker’s Mill in Chatom County, Alabama, during the 1940s and ’50s. We should understand that in and for these works of fiction Tucker’s Mill is an imagined fictional place, which is not to say that its created world is whole cloth imaginary – far from it. Still, or maybe, rather, precisely because of this, most readers will recognize the citizenry of Tucker’s Mill and Chatom County no matter when and where they themselves grew up. Some of us, with both amusement and edification, will find that we ourselves have been included in the census.” From the Foreword by Bert Hitchcock, Professor Emeritus and former Chair of the English Department, Auburn University

This book is about decisions. Not the everyday kind such as "What should I wear today?" or "Where shall we eat tonight?" but decisions that deal with life, death, and protecting the innocent. Self defense is not only about individual survival; self defense can also decide the fate of a nation and all its citizens."A Time to Kill: The Myth of Christian Pacifism" answers questions such as: Do federal, state, and local laws allow citizens to defend themselves against criminal attack?What means are available for self defense?What strategies should one use to avoid potential conflict. Can Christians defend themselves against Islamic extremists?Is pacifism in the Bible?Do the Gospels say Jesus was a pacifist?What if God commands us to use deadly force to defend the innocent?How do Jesus and the New Testament writers feel about the military?What does the Bible say about the death penalty?Can Christians sit on juries and vote for the death penalty?Can Jesus' teachings help soldiers with combat-induced PTSD?Does the Bible have a consistent message about self-defense from the Old Testament to the New?”

The Graceland Conspiracy delivers a coming-of-age story wrapped in a crime thriller. A rebellious young man becomes caught in a 1990s conspiracy in which the government will stop at nothing to prevent the release of sensitive information about a 1970s crime that could still bring down many powerful government figures and rewrite American pop-culture history. Matt Boykin had left Birmingham as a young college student and had gained seven years of street savvy working blue collar jobs on the West Coast and Texas. Then one night, a stranger in a suit helps Matt out of a tight spot in a Texas bar fight and whisks Matt away. The stranger hands Matt a card and tells him to call home where Matt’s father is in a coma and near death. Estranged all those years from family and friends, Matt arrives home a different person. His father dies soon after Matt’s return, but not before whispering clues for Matt to locate evidence that will later reveal the truth behind the death of an American music icon. Matt must search for this truth to save his own life, and his flight from those who would kill him lead him from Alabama to Texas to Mexico City to Munich and finally to Venice.
