Oh no!! Now I'm looking at more/her history books-!! I'll have to find a library close by which has them on their shelves, as there's so very little money for such. Sigh. Great discussion, ideas, conversation - very enjoyable and enlightening, Annette!! Kudos all around. ☺️🍷🍷

Cheers.

Oh, I'm sure Christine wouldn't want you going over your budget, Celia! Interlibrary loan at your library is also a way to go! Glad you enjoyed this!

I bought the book on kindle and thoroughly enjoyed it. In your interview she comes across as a delightful person that I could enjoy visiting with and getting to know.

I do plan to get Southern Cross. Growing up in the Central Texas Buckle on the Bible Belt, I was raised on evangelical Christianity and see its effects, both good and bad, as I have retired back to my small hometown. I am curious to learn how this culture evolved from the roots of Antebellum Southern Christianity which had a long history of Episcopalian and Presbyterian entrenchment if my memory serves correctly as well as some Catholicism if Gone With The Wind is to be believed.

For once Gone With the Wind was correct, Don! Judaism, too. I think you'll enjoy Southern Cross. So glad you enjoyed meeting Christine!

I knew there were Jews in the South, but I hesitated to mention them since I was not too sure how much penetration actually existed.
