"Sunshine In A Shady Place is a delightful tale of family and a delicious slice of Southern, small town charm. Ms. Chamberlin has a wonderful ear for dialogue and tells a spectacular story."
-- Alachua Alive Magazine

n 1937, the town of Argyle was just a whistle-stop along the tracks of the Southeast Coast Line Railroad in rural Georgia. Ms. Jewel would flag the train down to pick up parcels for the post. If there were no packages, the regular mail was simply hung in a canvas sack on the yard arm and would be snatched up by the passing train. The flow of the mail by rail to this tiny hamlet was its only connection to the outside world during the time of the Great Depression and the turmoil of World War II. Today, the train no longer stops in Argyle and all the mail is delivered by truck. Annette Pickren Chamberlin transports us back to that bygone era, weaving a tale of life, love, family, and the indomitable human spirit. The genuine characters that inhabit her story leap from the page and into the heart.
