Stories range from funny to sad, to enlightening to touching. Writers are all from the South. Although the show itself is unrehearsed, the literary memoirs have been worked on for weeks leading up to the recording. All stories are true and told by the Southerners who lived them. This show features cancer survivors in conjunction with the Plant it Pink Festival and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Stories by Kristi Moody, Penny Burkhalter, Evelyn Menz, Stacy Sells, and Coco Dorsey.
