Sure, his escapades have made him, along with his cousin and perennial sidekick, Benny, just a smidge too familiar with small-town law enforcement, but he's never harmed anyone--except perhaps himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNub never meant to change his ways, but when he and fifteen-year-old Waffle House waitress Minnie form an unlikely friendship, he realizes for the first time that there may be some good in him after all. Six-foot-five Minnie has been dealt a full deck of bad luck--her father is a convicted murderer serving a life sentence, her mother is dead and buried, and she has a Grand Ole Opry-worthy singing voice with no place to perform. Oh, and there's the small fact that she's unexpectedly pregnant, courtesy of a no-good high-school boy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGradually, Nub realizes the gift he's been given: a second chance to make a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeloved Southern writer Sean Dietrich, also known as Sean of the South, once again brings people and places to life in this lyrical song-turned-story about found family, second chances, country music, and the poignant power of love and forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeartwarming Southern fiction from Sean of the South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand-alone novel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion questions for book clubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso by Sean Dietrich: \u003cem\u003eThe Incredible Winston Brown\u003c\/em\u003ee, \u003cem\u003e Stars of Alabama\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eYou Are My Sunshine\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.38 x 5.55 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42092785827975,"sku":"9781400235636","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/cb6586c2f0bcf6ec29671b70cd5edecf.webp?v=1732304675","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/kinfolk-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
