An unlikely friendship forms between a spunky senior and an orphaned delinquent in this humorous and "rollicking" Southern novel (Publishers Weekly).
"An unpretentious, finely-crafted novel that will linger with the readers like the last strains of a favorite hymn. It is more enjoyable than a pitcher full of sweet tea and one of Mattie's home-cooked dinners." —The Atlanta Journal & Constitution
She had as much business keeping a stray dog as she had walking across Egypt—which not so incidentally is the title of her favorite hymn. She's Mattie Rigsbee, an independent, strong-minded senior citizen who at seventy-eight might be slowing down just a bit. When young, delinquent Wesley Benfield drops in on her life, he is even less likely a companion than the stray dog. But, of course, the dog never tasted her mouth-watering pound cake… . . . Wise witty, down-home and real, Walking Across Egypt is a book for everyone.
"Warm and comforting. . . . A beautiful story of determination, made more poignant by a Southern small-town setting." —Library Journal
"A winner, a homespun romp that I suspect Mark Twain would have loved." —The State (Columbia, SC)
