Title: Sleeping at the Starlite Motel
Subtitle: and other adventures on the way back home
First published: 1995
Description: In Sleeping at the Starlite Motel Bailey White explores how places affect our lives, from her humid hometown in Georgia to a one-room school in Vermont.

She takes us on adventures as mild as crawling through a limestone cave and as risky as deciding to teach first grade. She introduces us to her cousin Mandon, who wants to reunite the family's far-flung Chippendale chairs, and she tries to explain how, when she was assigned to computer training, she ended up at the dog track. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, Bailey White's stories are always rich with perception and grace.
