Ep. 233: Jennifer Glass: Little Miss McKenzie
About this episode
Jennifer Glass discusses her memoir about growing up in McKenzie, Tennessee, and the journey of self-publishing.
In this episode of Reelfoot Forward, Jennifer Glass, West Tennessee writer and educator, discusses her new memoir, "Little Miss McKenzie: Memories of an Average Girl in an Average but Perfect Small Town." With warmth, humor and sharp observation, Glass revisits growing up in McKenzie, Tennessee, and captures the people, places and everyday moments that shaped her childhood in a rural community. Glass shares how years of storytelling eventually became a book, why self-publishing made sense for her, and what it felt like to hold the finished memoir in her hands. She also reflects on the surprisingly universal response readers have had to the book, even when they’ve never set foot in McKenzie. This episode is sponsored by Thompson CAT Machinery Rentals.
