Everyone has just been talking about how pretty she is. It just happens to be the new teacher everyone is talking about. Sampson gets in trouble right away by dropping a watermelon from a tree and having it splat all over one of the new teachers. We also see aunt Loma again and Campbell Jr. His name is Sampson and he gets in a lot of trouble. We see Miss Love and her son, yes, the son she was pregnant with at the end of Cold Sassy Tree. There we meet up with some other members of Cold Sassy that we remember. The weekend he’s home is a big deal because it’s the watermelon social. He works as an agricultural agent, or a county agent. He’s already been to college and gotten a job. We meet Will Tweedy again, but this time he’s grown up. She based the relationships in the book on the relationships her parents had. ![]() She had actually battled cancer for years and years before finally dying from congestive heart failure. Olive Ann Burns died at age 65 before she could finish writing this book. You will notice that the front of this book says it is unfinished and that’s true. Why not read what else the author had to say about Cold Sassy? When I saw Leaving Cold Sassy by Olive Ann Burns at the thrift shop not long after finding Cold Sassy Tree at the same place, I decided to go ahead and pick it up. ![]()
