A Cup To Go

Mary Adams Belk has over twenty years invested in writing for her hometown newspaper. Her first book of collected columns, published in 2013, contained some of her favorites from over the years, but many others were saved for this new publication. Grab A Cup to Go and travel with Belk across the landscape of days gone by as well as the present day, and view that landscape through her humorous and insightful lens. Reading Belk’s columns is like sitting down with a good friend and sharing a laugh or two over a cup of your favorite beverage.

Praise for A Cup To Go:

This second volume of Mary Belk's collected essays is truly a feast for the reader. Each thoughtful, exquisitely crafted piece is an intricate world unto itself, burning with a hard, bright flame, illuminating the pathway to the next selection. Whether she writes about a sly, recalcitrant horse named Barney; a merciless, booming summer thunderstorm; an antique dining table that's witnessed a cavalcade of joys and sorrow; the Atlanta Braves' own unique version of The Boys of Summer; or poignant vignettes from her own family's history, Mary Belk's world instantly becomes your own, and with the conclusion of each essay, you're yearning for more.
