Memory Cards is a journey down a dusty rural road, but also back in time to where as late as the 1980s, neighbors still used mules for transportation and outhouses for other necessities. There is plenty to see, hear and smell, from the oppressive heat and pungent smell of row upon row of tobacco, to the mobile library that brought air conditioning and the aroma of paper, glue and binding each week of the summer. The author grew up in a functional family, but with different interests than his siblings, particularly ones that offered unknown prospects. As the road from the farm widens, readers encounter firebrand preachers, snake-handling churches, guns, baseball, Baptists, Coca-Cola, Elvis, suicides, mysterious deaths, PTSD, houses inhabited by haints, pork barbecue, tea cookies, cornbread, fishing, arrowheads, ice hockey and basketball.

The author is so sincere and honest about his "growing up" years, and of his life today. I enjoyed the stories he told about his family and people who live now or had lived in the past in rural Nash County. I could relate, as I was the youngest child (adopted at 6 mos) to a widow who's baby was eighteen years older than me. Having grown up in Nash County, this book brought back childhood memories of my own, and of people I had long forgotten. Well done, Michael K Brantley! I look forward to your next book!

Richly woven stories of the rural south By Guerrillagirl01 The richly woven stories that make up Michael Brantley’s “Memory Cards” move through his upbringing in the rural south, surrounded by family and faith, to his recently embraced life as a writer. The presence of strong women dominate the stories – Granny, Mama and eventually his wife, Kristi, all influence and advance his understanding of life, most of the time in quiet, subtle ways. Brantley has a flair for descriptive passages, especially recalling the food of his youth – toasted pimento cheese sandwiches, a glass of 7up over crushed ice, and the warm and buttery tea cookies that his Granny baked. There is plenty of time devoted to the encounters of being the youngest male in the household, from coming to grips with his veteran fathers PTSD to the passed down family tradition of responsible gun ownership. I especially fell deep into Brantley’s childhood stories – his unforgettable excursion to Six Gun Territory amusement park and the Mickey Mouse ears he never got.

Never too long or too slow, this book clips along at the perfect pace and has a little bit of something for everyone. A memoir that both talks about sensitive and personal topics as well as a book that shows what a humorous essayist Brantley can be, the tone of the narrator throughout the book is approachable. Defying stereotypes brought to mind when "southern literature" is mentioned, Brantley is both proud of his upbringing and unafraid to differ from the norm (so what if he never shoots an animal again?)I applaud the work that went into crafting such a memoir and feel that each word used in this book is just right.
