Praise for Annabel Alderman and Family Man :
Annabel Alderman's anecdotal novel…reflects her wry appreciation for Southern folk cursed with bad luck but blessed with humor. - Janice Daugharty , author of Like a Sister.Annabel Alderman has gusto..She does not waste her time or ours in frills and folly.She's not trying to prove herself or improve us.She has a story to tell and she tells it.There is great love here , wild and wide open , like the frontier stories.
...
Annabel Alderman has written a raucous and improbable tale with such cunning that even the violence is refreshing.I cried and laughed and hooted almost at the same time.
...
Annabel is a Southern original.
