Southern Culture … Old Friendships … Family Tragedy

One phone call from Renny to come home and “see about” the capricious Ava and Celia Wakefield decides to overlook her distressful past in the name of friendship.

For three reflective days at Renny’s lake house in Heber Springs, Arkansas, the three childhood friends reunite and examine life, love, marriage, and the ties that bind, even though Celia’s personal story has yet to be healed. When the past arrives at the lake house door in the form of her old boyfriend, Celia must revisit the life she’d tried to outrun.

As her idyllic coming of age alongside her best friend, Little Tea, on her family’s ancestral grounds in bucolic Como, Mississippi unfolds, Celia realizes there is no better place to accept her own story than in this circle of friends who have remained beside her throughout the years. Theirs is a friendship that can talk any life sorrow into a comic tragedy, and now that the racial divide in the Deep South has evolved, Celia wonders if her friendship with Little Tea can triumph over history.

 My Review of “Little Tea,” highly recommend the book.

“Little Tea” is the first book that I have read by author, Claire Fullerton and will not be the last. From the minute I opened the book to the last page, I was pulled into the story.
The story takes place in Mississippi and is about Celia who meets up with childhood friends Ava, Little Tea and Remy after spending some time apart. We learn about the past and present of the women and the people in their lives.

Ava is having marriage problems and looking for help from her friends. Little Tea is about the friendships that span a lifetime, racism, the gap between poor and rich and adultery. A beautiful friendship where Celia does not see white or black, despite the racism coming from both sides.
If you love Southern Fiction I recommend the book. Pull up a chair and dive into the beautiful story.
