“Book Descriptions: "Spit of a Minute" is one of those books that draws you in and doesn't let go until the very end. The heartfelt story is one that painstakingly draws every emotion out of you that it can from anger to sadness, joy, despair, agony, envy, and more. It's a story about Queenie, a Southern woman who lives a life that isn't always perfect, happy or easy, but it's the life she's got and she's going to make the best of it. Queenie is a strong, independent woman who forges her own path and that path takes her from the average life of a young innocent farm girl to the life of a New York mother with a world of troubles and problems. The story is written in an evocative, smooth writing style that rings true to the reader, allowing them to get pulled into the heartfelt journey of Queenie through her ups and downs, from an alcoholic husband who causes more problems than he's worth to an absent lover off fighting in the war. The book is amazingly complex and authentic, remaining true to the time and to the spirit of a strong, independent woman.” DRIVE
