Advance praise for Sue Ellen's Girl Ain't Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy! "There is nothing much funnier than someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously and just "tells it all." I know. I've made a pretty good living doing just that. As a Yard Bubba ( You'll have to read the book for an explanation ) living in a house full of Southern Belles I am here to tell you that Shellie Rushing Tomlinson is laugh out loud funny. For anyone that has an ounce of Southern blood flowing through their veins or those that wish they did, this book is going to be a treasure!" -- Jeff Foxworthy
