Publisher's Summary
Lighthearted, humorous storytelling from a seasoned traveler firmly grounded now in rural Southern Appalachia. With a love of character and community, Rouse delights listeners with subtle details of relationships, adjusting to country life, wisdom of nature and the landscape of domestic negotiations. Americana with a twist. Regional yet global.
Snapshots and slices of life. Stories include Appalachian tales of family and community, suburban humor of picking out Mother's Day presents, a Who-Done-It with a lady sheriff solving the crime and porcine humor—from an encounter with a flying pig to getting a stray piglet tipsy!
Characters are wise, clueless, young, old, eager and reluctant. Clever and delicious, tender and thoughtful, listen to these aloud or enjoy the wisdom and humor alone.

"A big cheer for Richard Rouse! He is one of those natural storytellers who carry on the tradition of Mark Twain, Eudora Welty and Maya Angelou! Reading his stories takes the lucky readers on a highly entertaining trip through mountains and bus trips and the landscape of domestic negotiations. Rouse’s storyteller voice is as true as the notes of (mountain bird) singing at daybreak!" (Dusty J Miller, author of the Alice Ott Mystery series)
