When Grandma Teaches You to Lie is a collection of colorful tales from Jenny Prevatte’s childhood in rural North Carolina, a time and place ruled by the cycles of farm life and the grace of God. A pivotal figure in Jenny’s life, Grandma was a conventional Southern woman in many ways but unconventional in all the best ways. She instilled in Jenny a mischievous sense of humor, fierce independence, and good common sense—lessons we can all use today.
