In this episode of Mississippi Stories, Mississippi Today Editor-at-Large and Cartoonist Marshall Ramsey begins his series of author interviews leading up to the Mississippi Book Festival on August 19, 2023 at the State Capitol.

This week’s book is The Yorkie Who Sings At Midnight by Janne P. Swearengen. The Yorkie Who Sings At Midnight is the story of Angela Thumbelina, a tiny Yorkie rescued from a hoarding situation as an elder lady. Told through her eyes and heart and the eyes and heart of her adopted family, you will feel her pain and her joy. Adopted around the age of 12, Angela has shown the resilience and strength of a rescue. It’s a charming and moving tale about how love can make the difference for all.
