Porter

Ferrol Sams' trilogy -
this is the second - are
funny, sweet, and so
much more. HIs Porter
Osbourne, Jr. is largely
autobiographical, which
means that Ferrol Sams
was quite the man.
Some women swoon for Austen's Mr. Darcy,
Bronte's Heathcliff, or,the much conflicted, complicated
Fifty Shades of Christian Grey,
but if we're talking total picture: humor, mischief,
sex appeal, intelligence, good natured-ness and
all the manners of a Southern man Raised Right,
then Porter Osbourne, Jr. is preeminent.
I must confess that I have loved him for some years,
and always will.
And always will.
