Claire Fullerton Examines Southern Life and the Bonds of Love and Friendship in “Little Tea”

In this episode 177, we visit with Claire Fullerton, author of Little Tea, a captivating story of Southern life and the complexities of friendship and family in 1980’s Mississippi.

When childhood friends Celia, Renny, and Ava reunite at Denny’s lake house, Celia realizes there is no better place to accept her own past than in this circle of friends who have remained beside her throughout the years.

Cassandra King Conroy, author of The Same Sweet Girls had this to say about Little Tea, “Claire Fullerton skillfully draws us into the lost world of Southern traditions and norms where the past tragedies cast long, dark shadows on present-day lives and no one ever truly escapes.”
