Return to Huckleberry Hill comes out tomorrow, and I am so excited! In celebration of the book release, I am posting Anna and Felty’s top ten quotes from the book. Enjoy! And be sure to pick up Return to Huckleberry Hill at most online retailers and many in-store retailers.

#10 Anna: “I just throw this and that into the bowl, and it usually turns out well.”

#9 Anna: “I’ve invented a recipe for peach venison stew and one for Chinese dumplings. If you substitute tongue for the pork, it makes them nice and chewy.”

#8 Anna: “Barbara has an extra toe on her left foot, but none of us has ever loved her less because of her little deformity.”

#7 Anna: “Since Reuben saved your life, we might be able to talk him into marrying you.”

#6 Anna: “Eva Raber is as quiet as a bowl of potatoes.”

#5 Felty: “I attracted your mammi’s attention with the license plate game. We used to sit by the stop sign on the highway and watch for license plates every Saturday. Annie had never known such excitement.”

#4 Anna: “You’re wrapped up in yourself and you don’t think things through very well, but you’re my grandson and I couldn’t love anybody better. How will we ever get you a wife if you throw perfectly nice girls out of my house?”

#3 Anna: “Melvin likes my rice, bacon, and apricot salad. I took some to him when he had a cold, and he was truly speechless.”

#2 Anna: “Now, Felty dear. How is the license plate game going to help Melvin and Dorothy?”

Felty: “Leave that to me. All I know is that Virginia is for Lovers, Alabama is the Heart of Dixie, New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment, and Ohio is the Heart of It All. That’s romantic enough for me.”return

#1 Anna: “Now we’ve got bigger fish to fry, Felty. No resting on our laurels.”

Felty: “I didn’t even know we had laurels.”
