 The title of this book, The Fluker Family: God is Cruising Us to Regality, was chosen because of her Christian upbringing and belief in God and because of these words spoken to her shortly  after moving from the rural town of Coffeeville, Alabama, to the large city, St. Louis, Missouri:   "Edwina, you must have come from a regal family." At the time, I did not know what she meant by saying that I must have come from a royal status. However, after sharing this story with my publicist, she encouraged me to frame my book title around these experiences. 

The author's expressions on everyday rural southern living will bring a smile or laughter. She interjects front-porch satire on topics of churchgoing, childhood experiences, food, and much more. As a bonus to the readers, she has included folksy drawings to accompany each written expression.
