What Matters in Mayhew Review: Portrays ignorance with grace, humor and honesty - desertcart says I must disclose I’m a friend of the author. Well, let me tell you, after reading What Matters in Mayhey, I’m right proud to boast that I know Cassie Selleck. This is one brave story—funny, charming, engrossing, and courageous. Cassie knows small-town Florida, small-town America and she isn't afraid to portray it in all its dangerous, foolish, funny charm. She paints her characters' ugliness with grace and humor. And she joins their stories into a compelling plot that ties the reader in knots impatient to learn how/if they’ll be able to solve their interwoven problems. Fictional Mayhew on the Suwannee River in Florida is populated by a cast of characters as diverse as can be fit in 277 pages. Without hiding a character's villainy behind cute clichés, Selleck is able to evoke understanding, even sympathy for the most hateful. Typical is the woman whose racism is so deeply ingrained, her inability to examine what drives her so total that she doesn’t know how to apologize even when she intends to. Yet, while despising her ignorance, we hope she'll learn and change. And Mayhew heroes have flaws we want to fix for them. Selleck portrays them in all their beauty and power, tempered with fear and pride. My favorite character in What Matters in Mayhew is Bitty Atwater, a seven-year-old with an obsessive need to put everything—from her chaotic family to cookie cutters--in order. Selleck promises a series of Mayhew stories. I’m looking forward to all of them, but I'm especially hoping for a book ten where Bitty is flying off to begin her freshman year at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, majoring in big data analysis. Maybe she’ll be able to make sense of all the problems plaguing her Mayhew neighbors. Review: Good-hearted Book - There was a lot of jumping around with the story being told by different characters' perspective. I don't have a problem with that except it took away from the main story of the health of one of the main characters. Ms. Selleck is quite good at involving the reader in the lives of her characters. She just needs to focus on the characters and avoid scattering telling the story by different people. A good book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,075,460 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #158,569 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (473) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.69 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0998198307 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0998198309 | | Item Weight | 15 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 276 pages | | Publication date | September 30, 2016 | | Publisher | Obstinate Daughters Press | ## Images ![What Matters in Mayhew - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qKB+Piu3L.jpg) ![What Matters in Mayhew - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Rt-exjdAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Portrays ignorance with grace, humor and honesty *by S***D on January 15, 2017* Amazon says I must disclose I’m a friend of the author.
