4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful and memory-evoking. By Sandy Richardson A Review of Serving up MemoryReviewed by Sandy Richardson (author of The Girl Who Ate Chicken Feet) Yesterday, while the rain and wind blew across the East, I snuggled inside under my grandmother's quilt, two cats draped sleepily over my feet, a fire burning low, and the Camden Writers' Serving Up Memory in my hands. A perfect afternoon to sort through memories of my own as each story served as a reminder of things held dear and not forgotten. My fingers stroked the worn softness of patch-work and silky stitching as I read Laura Bruno Lilly's lines about her own quilting and the "symbolic gesture in the giving of it." The whole collection of stories and poems brought back treasured snippets of my own childhood, family, and holiday gatherings. I remembered the fragile sweetness of cookie dough cut into shapes. I held my breath along with Vanessa Friedrich as I read how she and her siblings "always had to be careful not to cut a wing or an arm off [of the angel cookies] when we lifted them up off the table. I, again, ran out of the back door of my grandmother's house, screen slamming behind me as my cousins and I raced beneath the same kind of clothes lines Kathryn Etters Lovatt writes about, across the Sandhill country she describes as "so hot during growing season, the weevils just fell off the plants and when they did, the ground below cooked them death." Friends and I played between stacked bales of cotton and hanging bowers of tobacco leaves, and just like Jane Padgett Bowers, we sucked in the smell of tobacco leaves curing, thrilled at the noise and importance of a tobacco auction, and I remembered my uncle's rich pipe smoke wafting across the front porch as we sat in wooden rockers after supper. I read along with dear Molly in "Skip-it" by Brenda Bevan Remmes' and delighted at how Molly's spirit hovers still in the lives of Brenda and her grandson. My own Molly's reminder echoed through the years much like Lauren Allen was cautioned to not cross "the boundary beyond which we were inexplicably unsafe." And what grownup doesn't mourn the day, like Nick West, when we first learned about the real Santa Claus or delighted in tales of being so scared, that like Paddy Bell, we peed our pants. And even if we didn't actually wet them, we felt the same embarrassment if situations occurred like those Mindy Blakely recalls "having everyone think you had peed in your pants." I, like Mindy, certainly remember being asked "Whose are you?" My cousins and I also enjoyed special desserts, though not Paddy Bell's "Cowbow Cake," and ate greedily at the children's table, reveling in the freedom to have food fights and tell secrets behind our parents' backs. And yes, there was always the one or two dollars from Grandmama in the money envelopes furnished by the local banks. As the temperature dropped, I left the stories briefly to fetch a cup of coffee, wishing mightily I had a piece of Ari Dickenson's "Ski Slope Cake" or some of Martha Greenway's "Buttered and Roasted Pecans." Out of the kitchen window, I glimpsed my poor garden, remembering the lusciousness Bobbi Adams had described in her own, and I chuckled as I reread her story about her left-handed, ripe-tomato-throwing grandmother. The rain continued as I devoured the beautiful stories of people, now gone, but living brightly in the minds of others, like the gregarious Edward for Jane Padgett Bowers, and Jennie for Nick West. What a loss to have to burn those love letters! And noting my own much loved and cozy setting, I shed a tear for Nick West's loss in "Out of Ashes." The logs settled in the grate as I laughed at Martha Greenway's lesson in "Stop Singing," at the "so Southern-ness" of Brenda Remmes' story "Death and Dinner," and the delight in Mindy Blakely's "Pumpkins in Shadows." (I don't know that I'll ever get that "tune" out of my head now!) The clock chimed six just as I finished the last story. I sighed. How right and good, I thought, as I again considered the paraphrase Douglas Wyant included from Ha Jin's A Free Life: "A good life should be uneventful, filled with small delights, each appreciated and enjoyed like a gift." Kathryn Etters Lovatt's lines "how one life, in a particular time and place, was observed, put on paper, lived in full" sums up the entire collection. The works are at once entertaining, beautiful, poignant, and memory-evoking. I loved it! By Sandy Richardson (author of The Girl Who Ate Chicken Feet)

Stories and storytelling has been my greatest teacher of people By Michelle Ross Although I am not from the South, it has been my home for nearly 40 years. Stories and storytelling has been my greatest teacher of people, places and cultural significance. Serving up Memory is an anthology filled with stories that look into the past of its contributors. Through their stories, poetry and recipes, each writer has extended a branch of their family tree to complete strangers. They have shared the importance of heritage, the quirkiness of jokesters, and the value of memory. Even the inclusion of a family recipe is more than sharing ingredients with its readers; the writers trust its readership to appreciate the power the recipe holds in recalling the love and warmth of a loved one passed. Serving up Memory is intimate, charming and a delight to read. It is also a beautiful snapshot of a time not so very long ago.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A gentle reminder of the goodness in others By BBRemmes Serving Up Memory is a delightful stroll down memory lane in a rural section of South Carolina. Several talented writers have come together to provide glimpses of places, individuals and recipes that stretch back through seventy years and have left a mark on their lives. Anyone who was raised in the South will appreciate the subtle references to growing up in rural America. Anyone not living in the South will appreciate the gentle ebb and flow of the book. Undoubtedly, reading it will bring back personal childhood memories. A perfect gift for a relative you love or a friend. A gentle reminder of the goodness in others.
