Publisher's summary

There's nothing quite like family - and some people would say that there's nothing better. But in a world where we sometimes know more about the Kardashians than we do about the people sleeping right down the hall, it's easy to forget that walking through life with our family offers all sorts of joy wrapped up in the seemingly mundane. There's even a little bit of sacred sitting smack-dab in the middle of the ordinary. And since time's-a-wastin', we need to be careful that we don't take our people - and their stories - for granted.

Whether it's a marathon bacon-frying session, a road trip gone hysterically wrong, or a mother-in-law who makes every trip to the grocery store an adventure, author Sophie Hudson reminds us how important it is to slow down and treasure the day-to-day encounters with the people we love the most.

Written in the same witty style as Sophie's BooMama blog, A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet is a cheerful, funny, and tender account of Sophie's very Southern family. It's a look into the real lives of real people - and a real, loving God right in the middle of it all.

Love it!

I have followed Sophie's blog for several years, and bought the book and audio a while back-so very glad I finally got around to listening to this-I'm sure the cars around me wondered what had me smiling and laughing while sitting in traffic! This book is enjoyable, and rings true to this Southern Belle! Thank you!!

Loved this book!

Sophie Hudson is terribly funny and wonderfully real. This is a great memoir on good ol' Southern life with a loving Christian message throughout. I laughed out loud and cried a few times, too.

Heartwarming

A sweet heartwarming book of friends, family and southern living. A great reminder of what family is and how God moves in it. A good mix of sass, reality, and good ole fun.

Just like going home

What a delight this book was! So many familiar expressions and reminders of earlier days. Thank you, Sophie

Can’t get enough Sophie

This book was tender hearted, sprinkled with scripture and good stories, encouragement and love. I now hear Sophie’s voice and Mississippi accent in my mind when I’m talking myself through the day! She’s so funny, witty and relevant. I’d love to have her over for coffee and laughter. She’s a gem of a writer.

Like a big hug from someone who knows how to hug!

I am so glad I chose to listen to this instead of just reading it. Listening to Sophie tell of her experiences in her sweet southern voice made me feel at home. She shares such nuggets of truth and words of wisdom. Thanks for sharing your heart!
