Country Cured: Reflections from the Heart

Jerry Bledsoe. Plume Books, $8.95 (208pp) ISBN 978-0-452-26706-0

Bledsoe returns to Thomasville, N.C., the small town where he grew up, and introduces readers to such members of his clan as a preacher cousin and his grandmother. According to PW, the stories ``amuse and touch the heart. . . . These are lovely accounts of the returning author, his wife and son becoming `country-cured' by friendships.'' (Dec.)
