Just Don't Call Me Ma'am by Anna Mitchael

HOW I DITCHED THE SOUTH, FORGOT MY MANNERS, AND MANAGED TO SURVIVE MY TWENTIES WITH (MOST OF) MY DIGNITY STILL INTACT

This story takes us on a trip with the author through her twenties and into her past.  Leaving the south after college, through many states as she moves for jobs and boyfriends and into her past with her wonderful visits to Grandma Camp, and how her mother and grandmother think she should live her life. She realizes she is really growing up a teenage bagger at a grocery store calls her "MA'AM".

"You can call me a bitch, a diva, a hussy or a ho.  Just don't call me ma'am."

I enjoyed this book, it reminded me of the way I left home the day after high school graduation with big ideas and found myself moving home at least once to rethink my big ideas.  It is touching, funny and well written.  I loved the relationship with her grandma, which was similar in a way to mine, my grandma lived with us all through my high school years and beyond.  The "silent treatment" was precious!  So if you're twenty something you may find this book interesting because Anna may be a lot like you, but if you are a parent or grandparent you will find yourself laughing out loud and find you were not alone when your kids or grand kids ignored your advice. For everyone you may learn a little something, like it's ok to go home again to the people who will always love you, no matter what.
