Career
Her mother, and her South Georgian eccentricity, have been central to her writing. Her mother died in 1994. After 11 years of marriage, she returned to Georgia where she taught, for more than twenty years, at the school she attended as a girl.
Her gravelly voice and gift for portraying the unusual personalities of people in the rural South with gentle wit proved very popular with her National Public Radio audience.
In 1999, she left teaching to concentrate on her writing. White has published four books: Mama Makes Up Her Mind.
Sleeping at the Starlite Motel. Quite a Year for Plums.
And, in 2008, Nothing with Strings.
