FLAVORS
Flavors is a novella by author Emily Sue Harvey, a Southern inspirational author from South Carolina and this book took me back to childhood.
In Flavors, this master storyteller of the human heart sweeps us along with twelve-year-old Sadie Ann Melton as she enters a lifealtering season. The summer of 1950 will change everything for her. For in that summer, she will embark on an odyssey at once heartbreakingly tender and crushingly brutal. At times, she will experience more darkness than she has ever witnessed before. At others, she will thrill to lightness and joy she never imagined. By summer's end, the Melton women in Sadie's journey--loving her, coaxing her, and commanding her--will help shape her into the woman she becomes. And they will expose Sadie to all of the flavors of life as she savors the world that she brings into being.
Filled with charm, wisdom, and the smorgasbord of emotions that comes with the first steps into adulthood, Flavors once again proves Emily Sue Harvey's unique ability to touch our souls with her unforgettable stories.

"Flavors is more than well-written, it is magical. Sadie's story swept me away and I was there, in the stifling humid heat, of 1950 South Carolina. When Sadie felt something, I could as well. Emphatically, this is in my top 5 of BEST stories I've read. I loved it that much!" ~Annette Kristynik Impressions in Ink
