The wait is over! Mostly True is available on Amazon!
Award-winning author Janie Dempsey Watts shares her creative “mostly true” stories of growing up in the South, moving away to California, and finally returning home to live near her family farm in Northwest Georgia. Filled with historical vignettes, these nostalgic or humorous stories explore friends, family, farm life, her beloved okra, and travels to France and Sicily that inspire her writing.
"Remembrances of a time when life was sweeter and the okra was cooked to perfection, Mostly True is filled with tales of old Ford trucks, friendships with those society tends to overlook, and a host of horses whose lives fill our hearts. Highly recommend!" —Renea Winchester, Award-winning author of Outbound Train and The Mountains Remember
“Watts’ writing style is effortlessly engaging—like catching up with an old friend who happens to be a gifted storyteller. Whether she’s chronicling the adventures of tending horses, the wisdom and love found in her grandmother's kitchen, or the unexpected joys of country living, Watts finds the extraordinary in the ordinary.” —Amber Lanier Nagle, author of Seeing is Believing
“Janie Dempsey Watts collects stories and memories, and instead of housing them on display, writes them down in a compelling way. No dust needs to be blown off of Janie's possessions of fresh narratives and insightful reflections. She has collected these stories as a chronicle of her life as a woman of Northwest Georgia roots, wife, mother, journalist, horsewoman, and lover of nature.” —Barbara Tucker, Award-winning author of Lying In
