Harris Neck Stories
This is the side porch of the storybook — Southern stories from Harris Neck, Georgia, where the Honey Badger fell in love with a family and never quite recovered. Pink robes, pistols, gold gravy, sunflowers, daughters, grandchildren, and one 86-year-old who thinks she's God.

We'll add each one as a chapter, the way Heart of Care does everything: slowly, gently, with the right photo and the right voice.
