Southern Porch Settin'

Essie Sullivan de Long and Delia Jane Harwell Jarrett are best friends. They like to sit together on the porch at Essie's house and drink coffee, while indulging in their homemade desserts. And they talk about everything. Their story, set in the present-day deep South, is of two women who have known each other since high school. They face their daily lives and the way they deal with their circumstances, their grown children, faded youth, health problems and life in general, is with their dry sense of humor. This, and a backbone of tempered steel is what allows them to get through the everyday aggravations of life in the "Gray Lane". Essie thinks she knows everything about Delia Jane. After all, they've been friends for almost 50 years. When the late-night phone call comes, she discovers she doesn't know diddley-squat about Delia's life after all. Essie has to help her friend, and we find that these two ladies aren't just the sweet little AARP Card Carrying cookie-bakers they may appear to be at first glance.
