This was no small thing, in the southern sense of that word. If a person visited a home in the South for any length of time, whether for a mere one-night stay or weeks, months, even years of habitation, that visitor achieved the status of Company, meaning he or she received deluxe treatment.

This is my final book for the Southern Reading Challenge and I am really enjoying it! So, what pages are you turning this week?
Visit MizB for more teasers.
I hope you are going to tell us what Deluxe Treatment includes. Or maybe I have to read the book myself. Good teaser.
I am wondering if this is a book speaking about southern hospitality as it WAS.. I am not sure if all that applies anymore unfortunately.
My teaser is up at The Burton Review.
Happy Teaser Day!
Nice teaser, southern hospitality and deluxe treatment ~ I’d like some of that lol
Sounds good!
Well, I think I need to plan a trip South!
There are a lot of Southern books on the meme this week. This sounds like another good one!
Love Deborah Smith, will have to check this one out. Good teaser.
Lovely teaser. I haven’t read Smith before, but I love a southern setting.
New author for me but I like the teaser.
I’ve been to the South a few times on business, and while I didn’t stay at a personal residence, I was charmed with the friendliness of people I met. Just goes to show there are nice people everywhere! Great teaser.
Well, at least in my southern family, it is an honor to be Company – and the Teaser you selected sums up the definition of Company perfectly. So I would say that the old charms of the South are still the same. I’ll let you know if any of that has changed when I become their Company this fall when we return for a visit!
Yes, having lived in the South most of my life, I can say that’s definitely true. Company always gets special treatment – and that can be both a good and a bad thing. Sounds like an interesting book, though.
I love the sound of this; it’s sort of elegant, in a way. Very good teaser, Stacy.
Really? I wanna stay there then.
Good teaser.
My teaser is here.
You’ve been tagged for the I Cannot Tell a Lie meme over at my blog!
