Here Comes Minerva Minerva P Shaw

Years ago I lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina, across the street from a family with two daughters. The younger one babysat my children, who ranged from toddler to first grade. The older one, even then, possessed strong and unique opinions. We moved away. After I retired, I wrote two books, one set on Topsail Island, and the other set in Jacksonville. In 2004 I had a book booth at Topsail Island SunFest, and lo and behold, the oldest daughter introduced herself. She, too, was retired she had written a book. Thus began a collaboration that has endured until this day. When I started Righter Monthly Review in 2008, I asked her to write an advice column. She wrote enough ribald columns to fill a book, and here they are. Please meet Miss. Minerva P. Shaw!!! E. B. Alston
