“An extraordinary opportunity to experience life and song of the South through the eyes of two of our deeply treasured artists. Marjorie and Susan illustrate, with humor, vibrant images and the sweet voice of song, experiences we’ve all had but didn’t yet have the words to express.” —Mariah Wheeler, The Joyful Jewel Gallery, Pittsboro, NC
