In Blue Pines, Bobbye Taylor has written a necessary and personal book that bridges the past and present of the mystifying and mythical place that is Mississippi. Through a lens of love and interrogation, Blue Pines, part memoir part tale rises above being a mere novel to being an experience that seeps into the skin and the soul.—Aunjanue Ellis, Actor, WriterBobbye Taylor's book is an interesting combination of “what is”—the poverty, inequality, and a myriad of socio-economic issues that continue to plague Mississippi; and “what if”—the things that could be accomplished with a more highly skilled workforce—a crucial rung in harnessing the state's natural and human resources for beneficial development. —Jack Ryan, McComb Enterprise-JournalEmboldened by the fortitude of earlier strong generations of family, Taylor, an eternal optimist, espouses that we soar, without selfishness, on the wings of history, faith, hope, love, perseverance, and a vision of what could become a better life for ourselves and those to come after us.—Charles Ray Nash, Ed.D., The University of Alabama System
