![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() June Bailey White has lived nearly all her life in Grady County, Georgia, where she was born the youngest daughter of Robb White, a novelist who moved away to Hollywood to write for B-movies and television, and Rosalie Mason, a formidable farmer who reared White and lived out her life with her in a house she built herself (and whose venerable character inhabits many of her daughter's stories). Yet White has said she does not consider herself a storyteller, but rather a writer who happened to appear on the radio, and it is her written work, which to date comprises two best-selling compilations of stories and a novel, which delivers her readers most fully to White's lifelong home on the Florida line, a half-hour north of Tallahassee. Through her commentaries for National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," Thomasville writer Bailey White has introduced millions of Americans to an intimate side of Georgia that is hidden from Atlanta-bound flyovers and the hurtling traffic on interstates I-75 and I-95. ![]()
