A Christmas Memory and the Thanksgiving Visitor December 13, 2008

These vividly written, heart-warming and very funny tales recall Truman Capote's boyhood best friend, Miss Sook. Seven-year-old Capote, sent to live with reluctant relatives during the Depression, formed his closest childhood bond with Sook, an elderly and somewhat child-like female cousin. Life was always full of wonder for Miss Sook, who took a bookish, introverted and sometimes bitter little boy and opened his eyes to the world around him. Their adventures wonderfully chronicled in these stories will move and delight the entire family.
