A Taste of the Sweet Apple

A favorite summertime read!

A Taste of the Sweet Apple

Jo Anna “Pee-Wee” Holt Watson was born and reared in Woodford County, Kentucky, the heart of the bluegrass.
A Taste of the Sweet Apple is a moving memoir on the love of a place and the way the land becomes a part of its inhabitants. Brimming with unsentimental innocence and the sensuality of furs, tobacco, and her mother’s lemon lily beds, she draws a tough-minded, tomboy-accomplished portrait of girlhood.
A vivid cast of characters takes you completely into this world, reminding us of the power of storytelling in a time when we need it more than ever.
Thank you, Jo Anna!
