In Jackie Torrance's The Importance of Pot Liquor, the reader is whirled back in time to the quiet, tightly knit North Carolina community of Second Creek, the wonderland of the author's childhood. Torrance, a folksy teller of tales, mixes some rural favorites like Br'er Rabit and Br'er Snake with heartwarming stories of an inquisitive little girl raised in a nurturing environment where love and wisdom took human form. There are spicy yarns about colorful relatives such as the always helpful Uncle Will and Aunt Sally, who smelled like a freshly baked cake. Add to this wonderful recollections of sumptuous downhome recipes. This book is a joy, like a holiday visit to the kinfolk's for fun and frolic.
