Sobre este artículo
Chapel Hill: Algonquin, 1987., 1987. First edition. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket. Set in rural North Carolina, seventy-eight year old Mattie Rigsbee is starting to show a few signs of slowing down. Mattie is still a feisty, strong-minded lady. She is a devoutly Christian widow who makes a mean pound cake and misses having someone to cook for and to love. She would really like to have some grandchildren, but her children aren't complying, so she opens up her heart and her home to Wesley Benfield, a hapless juvenile delinquent who needs Mattie as much as she needs him. A sweet, funny, down-home tale.

Walking Across Egypt represents one of the more significant independent films produced in the Florida film industry in recent times.
Reseñas
El Jan 16 2014, un lector dijo:
Edgerton captures the authentic voice of the southern mountains. In Mattie Rigsbee he has encapsulated everything lovely and everything maddening about old-timers in those mountains. Mattie believes literally in the Bible, and feels it is encouraging her to adopt a young man of 16 who is in the Juvenile Holding Area for stealing a car. Mattie is already 78, but feels a new burst of energy with this decision. Her middle-aged son and daughter are horrified, as are the members of her church at her having dealings with a young thief.
